Teachers TV

Teachers TV were filming in Goddard Park this week. They interviewed children, staff and parents trying to gain a view on whether Every Child Matters and our Extended Services had measurable impact on our children's attainment. The outcome was that there was no simplistic relationship with say SAT results. The most encouraging material was based around individual case studies of where progress by children had been directly related to either high quality early years education and daycare or engagement by parents with family learning programmes. Other positive work is attached to the work of specific staff as with speech and language therapy and the removal of obstacles to learning. A whole day's filming will probably result in 10 minutes programme content. As usual the children simply cotinued with their work. They are very used to visitors! Channel 4 are coming later in the month.
