Greenlit: The School That Ripped Up The Rule Book, BBC2

By ⋅ September 16, 2016 ⋅  Print This Post ⋅ ⋅Post a comment

The School That Ripped Up The Rule Book w/t (1 x 60′)  -Ripley Academy is the biggest and one of the most successful schools in Lancashire, but despite its outstanding Ofsted report the Academy can’t get its pupils to engage in one of the most important skills imaginable – reading.

It’s a problem secondary schools and parents are facing across the country. Ripley has exhausted every technique and tried hundreds of books. Now it’s time for something completely new: they’ve invited actor and comedian Javone Prince to shake things up a bit – and life in school is about to change. With the help of local lass and reading champion Helen Skelton, Javone’s mission is to inspire Ripley’s most reluctant readers to take the plunge, and make reading for pleasure a habit for life.
