That has led to my local college having to close its creche—an important part of increasing participation—and its refectory.
The private school had its sports hall burnt down and the state school had its refectory burnt down.
Generally, the services comprise bars, cafeterias, refectories and a varied range of sporting and welfare services.
I do not believe that it is enough to subsidise the refectories.
They might want more no-smoking areas or areas where people could be quiet, or provision to be made for a particular diet in the refectory.
But often there is not room in the refectory.
We ran the place well and efficiently and provided better facilities than the university did in its refectories and various other ways.
It may be a classroom, a kind of refectory, a converted refectory, a small dining room or some accommodation on the school premises.
