| Summary: | Two Manchester schools get to grips with the reality of introducing new ideas. In their case some seemingly simple and hopefully effective innovations to boost GCSE results. Paul Barker-Matthews, Head of English at Cedar Mount High School, and Fiona McGarvey, Head of Maths at St. Peters RC High School, were each awarded £2,500 by the New East Manchester urban regeneration project to fund their innovative plans to raise attainment. But they have to act fast, as the exam season is only a matter of weeks away. This first of a three part series focuses on how they went about drawing up their plans, and getting the projects off the ground. We see what it takes to find a fresh approach: is it clear focus, the right support, or just the cash. |
