Inner city success
Description
In 2001 Stepney Green School in Tower Hamlets was included in a list of the worst thirty schools in the country for truancy. This programme looks at how the school has worked on challenging a long-standing culture of poor attendance and how a wide variety of initiatives, including a mentoring scheme run by ex-students, and a competition between forms to win a weekly prize, are helping it win its battle against poor attendance.
