Letter from the Loo of The Year Awards Year 3 Ambassadors at Madley Primary School

Just before Easter, we had the pleasure of meeting the Year 3 Loo of the Year Ambassadors at Madley Primary School to discuss how they would like their school toilets to look, feel and function.

Following our visit, we were delighted to receive this thoughtful letter from the pupils, outlining their ideas and aspirations for their toilet facilities.

Their requests were simple but powerful:

Fun door stickers

A sturdy sink

A space that doesn't feel like a typical school toilet

A happy and welcoming environment for everyone

What impressed us most was the way these young ambassadors had considered not only the appearance of their toilets, but how the facilities make people feel when they use them.

By engaging children in conversations about toilet provision, cleanliness, respect and wellbeing, we are helping to create a generation that understands the importance of good facilities away from home. Education like this gives us hope for the future, not only for better-designed and better-maintained toilets, but also for greater respect for these facilities by the general public.

At the Loo of The Year Awards Ltd, we believe that raising awareness should start early. These pupils are already demonstrating that toilets are about much more than convenience; they are an essential part of creating healthy, inclusive and welcoming environments.

A huge thank you to the Year 3 Loo Ambassadors at Madley Primary School for sharing your ideas with us. Your enthusiasm and honesty show exactly why involving young people in these discussions matters so much.

After all, today's Loo Ambassadors could become tomorrow's designers, managers, cleaners, decision-makers and champions of better public facilities.

 

 

"If we teach children the value of good toilet facilities today, we help create communities that will respect and care for them tomorrow."
