The children who saved their school

Use this incredible, true story to give literacy lessons an inspirational lift.  Along with reading, writing, spelling and creative activities, three homemade videos tell the story of the children who fought to stop their school closing down, and won!

Follow the children on their journey from shock, to protest, to victory with videos made by the children themselves. Find these videos below and download the accompanying resources which help your pupils to:

  • Discuss why education is important and why it should be available for all
  • Write to persuade, inform and describe through letters, reports and poetry
  • Scan texts for errors to correct
  • Think about local and international problems on which they could campaign
