How do you know?

Because the back wall of the cubicles formed the top wall of the yard and
the foopball was regularly bounced off the roof. Otherwise, someone would
have had to go & retrieve the ball every couple of minutes.

Apart from that, one of the lads in my class dragged me through the area
one day after school. It smelled pretty foul even with the extensive
ventilation.

Boys' toilets are specially designed to be smelly. It's part of the spec.

The boys' toilets at my own primary school were also open-air, but with a roof over the cubicles. We delighted at attempting to wee over the top of the wall, especially as the spot beyond was a favourite spot for girls to lurk. I have no idea why little boys are able to pee over walls. I'm certain I couldn't pee any higher than the toilet seat these days.

A friend of mine also used to pee over the top of the toilet wall at his primary school. There was the pavement of the street on the other side. One play time, after a peeing match, he and his pals left the toilets only to walk into the arms of a large and angry policeman with a wet helmet.
