I am bovvered
Description
Headteacher Sue Tinson has risked £500k worth of personal debt to open The Serendipity School - in an adapted bungalow on the outskirts of Southampton. Serendipity caters to girls with complex emotional and behavioural issues and real learning needs. For many of the girls it's their last hope for some form of education. This film follows Sue and looks at the methods and practices she has developed to work effectively with this hard to reach group. It asks what can be done with some of our most vulnerable teenagers - does a damaged childhood have to mean a damaged life?
