Why this layout works
Every desk sees the board
All thirty pupils face the front, the arrangement that keeps attention on the teacher and spaces pupils out for tests.
Aisles to every seat
There is 65 cm between columns and 20 cm between a chair and the next desk, so the teacher can reach every pupil.
About 2.4 m² per pupil
72 m² for thirty pupils, close to the UK guidance for a general classroom of 55–70 m².
Before you copy it: Rows make group work and discussion harder; most teachers switch arrangement for different lessons.
