Lauren, 9, Kent, England

"Schools have enough space, it's just they waste it on playgrounds, field and buildings we have got enough of! Something decent would be astro turf or places you can read or chat without having to run 20 metres every 30 seconds!"

Kris, 11, Yorkshire, England

"I guess we have a medium amount of space. I know there are lots of schools near where I live that have hardly any space! We have a hard court, a huge field, a pond, a nature garden, two playgrounds, a small one and a big one, a main hall, and a performing arts studio. It may sound like a lot but its still quite small."

Stella, 10, London, England

Sarah-Jane, 13, Wales

"Yes we have loads of space to run around in and a wildlife area!"

Isabel, 11, London, England

"I think schools should have more space so there is enough for everyone."

Paige, 13, England

"I think it is a waste of money because you should not spend a lot of money on stuff that is not related to education when you can spend money on books and stuff. That is why parents send their kids to school - to learn - not to have a lot of wildlife right in their faces."
