Sharing Practice: UK School's Philosophy of Treating the Whole Child
According to a Web site report, Drove Primary School is in one of the most deprived areas of Swindon, UK. It has a community education programme for adults, a growing children’s centre and a teacher training programme. It provides an excellent primary education for its pupils. “The combination of a forward thinking headteacher, Dr Nick Capstick, lots of effort given over to fundraising for resources, a focus on new technology and on breaking down barriers to learning has seen the school shatter its own glass ceiling in terms of SATs results.” The school also uses new technology such as digital video literacy (to allow the children to produce documentaries, plays and instructional videos) and multiple voting systems and voting machines (to help reluctant speakers to show teachers that they understand concepts.)
