The classroom
Tour the StoneCore Education classroom in Edinburgh — chart walls, cohort seating, and how a pattern-reading evening is staged.
The room
Our classroom holds ten marked desks facing a long chart rail. Tutors pin printed daily charts before you arrive; you annotate with pencil first, ink only when the room agrees a structure is settled enough to defend.
Evening rhythm
- Settle (10 minutes) — open notebooks, claim a desk, review last week’s homework chart.
- Warm mark (25 minutes) — tutor walks one shared chart; seats call swing points aloud.
- Silent drill (40 minutes) — individual pattern candidates; no phones on the desk.
- Critique (30 minutes) — three volunteers pin work; the room challenges labels and missing volume context.
- Scenario close (15 minutes) — write or revise one if-then card before leaving.
What you will see on the walls
Large-number posters mark session numbers — a nod to the dramatic billboard style we like — beside annotated examples of failed breakouts and clean continuations. Gold and burgundy borders frame the board; the charts themselves stay black ink on cream paper.
Booking a visit
Open evenings for prospective attendees run once a month when no cohort is in session. Enquire with “classroom visit” in the message, or browse classes if you already know which programme fits.
