‘Flexitime’ school that rewrites the book on teaching – Education News, Education – The Independent
It was only a matter of time (no pun intended).
Welcome to the world of flexitime schooling which will see a child in Spain educated through Skype from the UK and a mother who splits her son’s education between home teaching and school.
Hollinsclough Church of England primary school in Staffordshire is the first in the UK to introduce a part-time policy for pupils.
The school’s approach, which will be explained by its headteacher Janette Mountford-Lees to a conference organised by education consultancy CfBT, aims to jointly address the issue of families who want a less rigid school timetable and the low number of children in the school’s rural catchment area.
