Dorland House Special School in Kent aims to offer visually impaired pupils a fully-rounded education for key stages 1-4 to prepare them for an independent, confident life when they leave school. This programme explores how they do this. There's a multi-sensory cookery lesson in the nursery, and we follow 8 year-old Samuel as he practices vital mobility skills, there's Archery, and we sit in on a modern languages lesson taught by a visually impaired teacher. The programme also highlights the strong creative arts component coming out of an innovative link with Milton Margai School for the Blind in Sierra Leone, and we talk to three older pupils from Dorland House who are preparing to visit Sierra Leone for the first time.

"John Carey, senior adviser with Durham LEA and a specialist in professional development, takes a critical look at CPD at Christ Church Primary and offers a few tips.
He stresses the advantages of school-based CPD and speaks to Deputy Head Colette Morris, about the school's policy of encouraging staff to share ideas and collaborate with one another.
The staff appreciate this and think training is essential if they are to progress and develop their skills.
John sits in on a peer observation session. All agree that more preparation time was needed to decide on the specific observation objective, and for both the watcher and the watched to look for CPD benefits.
John also demonstrates that children's views can be a rich source of CPD.
Overall he is positive about the school's learning culture but feels it is crucial that good ideas like peer observation are carefully structured for staff to get the best out of them."

"Penny Smith teaches Year 2 'Apple Class' at White Oak School in Swanley, Kent. She doesn't have a lot of experience teaching music, but in this programme Penny and her teaching assistant Marion Dowell work on a composition task with the class and show how any primary teacher, regardless of their musical ability, can do the same.
First of all, Penny and Marion do some planning work with Gwynneth Johnson, the School's Music co-ordinator, and composer Stephen Chadwick, but the approach demonstrated here can of course be used without this level of support. In their literacy class the day before, the children have drawn pictures of some story endings: a robot falls down stairs; a car crashes into a wall. Stephen and Penny looked through these pictures to find those most suited to the musical task they've selected where pairs of children work to create a simple sound pattern which continues and then suddenly stops."

Wanda Noakes, the new headteacher at Daubeney Primary in Hackney, north London, returns after her first half term break with renewed enthusiasm. Her plan to involve parents more works well and they come up with ideas to celebrate Black History Month. Ten weeks into her leadership she feels pupils and parents are on side but there is still a lot to do to establish a good rapport with staff. The allocation of teaching and learning responsibilities is an issue and her two deputies feel she is introducing too many changes too quickly. Wanda disagrees. She feels the changes are important for the pupils. She also has to tell them that she will only be able to afford one deputy by 2008. Wanda was aware that parts of her job would be tough but feels the qualification for new heads helped her prepare. As Christmas approaches Wanda receives good news about her children's centre and gets some positive feedback from staff. Her advice for new heads? Grit your teeth and have lots of early nights.

"Careerwise takes a look at male primary school teachers: why is there a shortage, what does it mean for the profession and what can be done about it?
Firstly, the team takes a trip to the Black Country, to look at a primary school which employs twice the national average of male teachers. Teachers there have an interesting insight into what differences men can bring to a school.
We also hear from students and parents about how they feel about a primary workforce comprised mainly of women.
Presenter Peter Curran is then joined in the studio by education expert Jill Clough and Mike Watkins, head of recruitment at the Training and Development Agency for Schools, to discuss how more men can be brought into the profession and why many are loath to sign up in the first place."

"Primary headteacher Frances Bussy discusses her experience of CPD with a group of senior professionals.
They agree that an open collaborative environment which encourages professional dialogue is key but staff have to feel comfortable and be willing to participate.
Involving all the staff and getting them to think 'outside the bubble' makes a huge difference and is also critical for retaining teachers. This is a particular challenge for small schools where staff might feel their careers are limited.
Frances is stunned by the perceptive comments made by Year 6 children at their exit interviews and stresses the benefits of listening to children across the school.
Giving staff options within the School Improvement Plan has also been successful. Individual choice gives ownership and encourages professional responsibility.
The experts conclude that good professional development can take many forms."
