Removing barriers to learning
Description
Little Ilford School in east London is working to ensure its focus on pupil inclusion is maintained. Headteacher Yvonne Powell reveals how they celebrate diversity in a school where over fifty languages are represented. This involves a range of initiatives such as peer mediation where problems can be aired and solutions found. Another example featured in the programme is the Year 7 class where pupils explore self-image in order to value each other's differences and talk about how beauty is portrayed in the media.
