Pupils' have your say about your school toilets, UK

Promoting better toilets for pupils

Welcome to the pupils’ section of the Bog Standard website. Bog Standard is a campaign to make school toilets better. Our 3 aims are:

To increase awareness of the health benefits of better toilets for pupils
To encourage schools to improve the condition of pupils' toilets and to allow pupils to use them when they need to
To get laws that will make pupils' toilets nicer to use

Bog Standard wants to make people aware that better toilets mean healthier pupils.

Are your school toilets really horrible?

Are you not allowed to go when you really need to?

Do you often wait until you get home to go to the toilet?

If so this web site is for you!

Bog Standard has made a charter. This says what we think pupils’ toilets should be like. There’s a poster version of the charter that you can print off and put on the wall.

Why don’t you start by reading what you can do to help make toilets better in your school? Or, you can read about why you need nice toilets to keep you healthy.

In the Information section, there are some factsheets written for children and young people:

Have a look at how other schools improved their toilets.

Tell us about your school toilets or read what other young people have been saying. We have a survey form that you can use in your school. Please send us your results.

We’ve also got a section on odd bogs and some toilet-related games and activities. (There’s also a poster – in colour – for you to print off.)
