When looking over the script we decided to all look up schools that we believe would best suit the script. I found a school called:
George Watson’s College:
Annual senior day school fees: £10,983

Based in Edinburgh, George Watson’s College is a large co-educational school, with over 2,000 pupils. Academically the school is highly successful, offering a broad range of International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers, Advanced Highers and some A-levels, with over 90 per cent going on to higher education. In 2015, 55.4 per cent of A-level results were graded A*/A. The school has a technology centre devoted almost entirely to electronics, up-to-date science labs, and Mandarin Chinese is on offer as a language. Sports wise, the school is famed for its rugby and has a huge choice of over 20 sports clubs, in addition to 80 other clubs and societies. Sir Chris Hoy and former rugby internationals Gavin and Scott Hastings are former pupils. Money wise, pupils may apply for short term financial help at any stage, there are up to 13 academic and music scholarships annually, and a variety of bursaries offer assistance to over 100 pupils. I really like the look of this school. I like how it looks aged on the outside, and to me, this seems like a well classed private school.

As most of the script is set in the common room/library I decided to look up the library of the school and see if that would also fit in with the atmosphere in the play. I really liked the look of the library. I like how the library is sectioned off by books, and I think this would be perfect for our characters, as I could imagine them having their own section of the library that they stick too. I also liked the stereotypical olden wood that is the desks. I like how it has a historical feel to it, it makes the school seem aged and experienced. I also like how simple the layout is, it hasn't been modernised, so it keeps the educational feel to it, rather than a technical approach.
