Trinity Primary School, Wolverhampton
Description
Mick Waters Drops In is the first of a new series in which Mick Waters, ex-Director of Curriculum at the QCA, uses his long experience in schools to share some of the things that make a successful school. Trinity Primary School in Wolverhampton is located in an area of high deprivation but is an exemplary school and has great strengths in sport, drama, media and creativity. Mick is guided around the school by two lively Year 6 students, Chloe and Cadeem. Sheltering from a thunder storm in the Forest School area, Mick meets the reception class and their teacher Catherine Horton, and later we find out how powerfully the Forest School influences storytelling and creative writing across the whole school. Mick visits the multi-media room and meets Albanian-born Sara from Year 6. He visits the school's dance drama studio, has lunch with students, and chats with TAs and teaching staff about a recent project in which aliens landed in the school's playing field!
