| Abstract | Hook Primary School in Yorkshire has no timetable. They have a free-flowing day with no bells. Headteacher Janet Huscroft tells us that they have never followed the literacy or numeracy hours, yet they now have an outstanding Ofsted report. Over a school day we follow children's activities and find out from both experienced teachers and an NQT what it's like to work in a school like Hook. The children go out to play when they have completed a task or need a break from their work - not arbitrarily when the bell goes. The classrooms have no doors and the children work quietly. There is a buzz of activity about the place. We hear from a parent who suggests that Hook children do well when they leave because of the self-directed and creative approach. The success is down to the staff and Janet tells us that no member of staff has ever left the school except through retirement - it is not for the fainthearted but the record speaks for itself. |
