Summary:

Teaching consultant John Bayley works with senior management, staff and students at Islington Green School in North London, attempting to remove the bell from school breaks.Over the years, head teacher Trevor Averre-Beeson has grown to hate the ineffective school bell, which is rung twice a day in a fruitless attempt to persuade students to get back to lessons on time. John Bayley trains Averre-Beeson's sceptical team to encourage students to return to lessons themselves rather than rely on the bell. He encourages them to do this with a mixture of gentle persuasion and constant reminders that break is now over.Before the bell-less break was introduced it took a minimum of 12 minutes for all students to return to class; now it takes less than half that time. Two months later the bell remains silent.
