Amanda, please do your 'homework,' if you'll excuse the pun. The relationship between small corridors and recess time pressure, congestion and anti-social behaviour in schools is well established - for example, Brocklehurst (2005), San Antonio et al (2007) and even Dukes (1905) if you can be bothered to span the historical spectrum of data, and that's before we even start exploring what the implications are for DDA compliance. Architects are best placed to fight the (narrow) corner on this one as we are supposed to be all about adding value!
If we dish out bad schools then all that does is communicate to young people how little we value them.
A recipe for a time bomb, and a missed opportunity for us.
