The implementation
Description
Spurred on by the offer of funding, our two Manchester schools have developed their ideas aimed at boosting GCSE results, but can they put them into practice in just a matter of weeks? Fiona McGarvey, Head of Maths at St. Peters RC High School wants to introduce drop in revision sessions before and after school. But will any pupils turn up? Meanwhile over at Cedar Mount High School, Head of English Paul Barker-Matthews plans to take 80 pupils to a nearby college for three days of intensive revision, but has to overcome time table and staffing issues if he is to succeed.
