It’s back to school this week as we take a look at school conversions.

Top marks to whoever had the brainwave of turning these one-time educational establishments into homes.

Their typical features include high ceilings and a multitude of windows, which makes them a very clever choice for transformation into light-filled living spaces, and the buildings themselves tend to be solid, upstanding structures in fairly central locations.

Here are five fine examples of school conversions that we think deserve full points for effort.
