A Film for Our Times: The Story of XP School
Holt, Madeleine
FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v64 n2 p74-78 Sum 2022
A new film explores the UK's most radical state secondary school. XP school in Doncaster, a disadvantaged area of England, is putting kindness at the heart of its school culture, and reaping outstanding student engagement, attainment, attendance and behaviour. Its approach is in marked contrast to a recent tendency in UK schools to focus on tough discipline, teaching to exams and excluding students who don't deliver academic results.
