- Summary:
- In February 1994 Northicote School, situated in a deprived area of Wolverhampton, was the first in the country to be named and shamed, OfSTED called the school 'appalling in almost every way'. Then Geoff Hampton took over as head -five years later he was awarded a knighthood for transforming the fortunes of this failing school and its pupils. This book pulls out the key points from the five-year programme and shares successful strategies with other heads, governors and teachers.
