Summary:	When a Birmingham primary headteacher realised that most of her pupils had never left their neighbourhood, even to see the city centre a few miles away, she decided to introduce the International Primary Curriculum.

Its cross-curricular and thematic approach proved a great success in engaging pupils of all years while its emphasis on parental involvement also helped highlight the value of education in a community dogged by long term unemployment.
