Description
Summary:Mick Waters Drops In is part of a new series in which Mick Waters, ex-Director of Curriculum at the QCA, uses his long experience in schools to share some of the things that make a successful school. The City School in Sheffield has been a National Challenge School and is currently reinventing itself after some difficult times. Mick walks round with Year 10 students Sarah and Joe and firstly talks to a group of Year 8s about their experience of the school. In the Learning Resource Centre he drops in on a PSHE careers class where an entertaining lesson helps students to start thinking about their futures. He visits a Year 11 maths intervention class and talks to maths teachers who have helped students reach the 30% challenge threshold. He is introduced to the highly successful link between The City School and a school in Lesotho, and also spends time with headteacher Matt Percival to find out his plans for the school's future.
