They cook chicken stuffed with sage and roasted on a bed of vegetables including beetroot, new potatoes, courgettes and other produce from their garden. The roast is flavoured with chopped garlic and rosemary, and sweetened with organic honey from the local farm shop. Several of the pupils have never liked beetroot, but when it's roasted with honey they are quick converts. The big hit is the Eton Mess dessert which Michael makes from locally grown strawberries and raspberries plus some fruit that the pupils have brought in from their gardens. It's an appropriate dish as it's Wimbledon fortnight and the school is just down the road from Eton.

In this last episode of the series we find out why strong leadership and a broad-based maths curriculum are seen as key factors in that equation. Students are given the option to study for a statistics GCSE and a Further Maths Qualification. The department has assigned each student on the C/D booster programme their own mentor - one member of the maths team who they regularly meet to update on progress. But in a departmental staff meeting, programme leader Raj Jutley discovers not all students are meeting up with their mentor. Following the mock GCSE maths exam results, Raj is worried the department will not hit their target. One reluctant student, who was given a second chance to stay on the booster course, refused to sit the mock exam. Though he plans to resit his maths GCSE in June, it ll be without extra support.

One Year 11 student has been taken out of a booster course designed to help him get a GCSE C grade in his summer resit. Course leader Raj Jutley is clear he must stay out but deputy head, David Dutch insists he's reinstated. Will the good relationships Stephen's fostered between the staff ensure that this difference is quickly resolved? Since the launch of the maths department in 2001, recreational maths has played a central role. Lunchtime chess and puzzle clubs, activities such as World Maths Day, as well as lessons involving student participation, encourage students to engage with maths. In 2003, Ofsted rated the maths department good but there was still room to improve.

Year 9 pupils from Sandown High School on the Isle of Wight are hooked, as they discover oceanography on board the research vessel Callista.They find out that Planet Earth is really Planet Ocean, as the crew explain that the oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface, and hold over nine-tenths of the planet's water. The oceans contain clues to our history, and our future, but many remain undiscovered.The trip is run by the Discover Oceanography programme team from Southampton University's National Oceanography Centre, and aims to bring marine science to life in a hands-on way for children and adults alike. It includes learning about the impact of light penetration on the creatures who live beneath water level, examining the boat's daily catch of fish, squid and plants, and using the hi-tech equipment on board, seeing the tiny creatures which live in the mud on the sea bed, and nourish oceanic food chains.","stream","[]","['Great Britain']","['Oceanography']","['Instructional television programs']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1004320xxx/1004320927/1004320927-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-fit-1024x578.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?EDIV;1742968" "asp1742967-ediv","","Paralympic hopes","2008","29 min","['Inspirations']","The story of a young visually impaired swimmer Michael Reeve, who has gone from non-swimmer to elite level in just 3 years with the help of his inspiring coach, family, and school.Three years ago Michael Reeve couldn't swim, but was encouraged by his parents to join a nearby swimming club run by disability swimming coach Jil Stidever.
