Animated comedy adventure featuring the voice talents of Michael
Caine, James McAvoy, Emily Blunt and Patrick Stewart. Shakespeare's
timeless story of doomed love is transposed to the surprisingly
hazardous world of the suburban front lawn as lovestruck garden
gnomes Gnomeo (voiced by McAvoy) and Juliet (Blunt) find themselves
caught up in a feud between the next-door neighbours to whom they
belong. Can they find a way to be together despite the many
everyday garden obstacles that seem to stand in their way?
James Bond (Roger Moore), in his tenth screen outing, joins forces
with a glamorous Russian spy (Barbara Bach) to outwit a
megalomaniac shipping magnate (Curt Jurgens) who intends to achieve
world domination by causing nuclear war between the superpowers.
The film features the submersible Lotus Esprit, underwater battles,
and 'Jaws', a seven-foot villain with steel teeth.
Sir Cyril Taylor has been at the heart of English education for
over two decades, serving as an adviser to ten successive UK
Education Secretaries and Four Prime Ministers, both Conservative
and Labour, including Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair.
His passion for education has led directly to real school
improvement, from the creation of City Technology Colleges to
specialist schools and academies, which together now constitute
over nine in ten secondary schools in England. The Specialist
Schools and Academies Trust, the body he founded, is now a leading
force in school improvement worldwide.
A Good School for Every Child draws on that wealth of
experience. While offering an insider's look at some of the key
challenges in education, it is also an invaluable guide for parents
and teachers interested in how our schools work today. There is a
particular focus on how to raise standards in low attaining
schools, improving levels of literacy and numeracy and teaching our
children the skills they need for the 21st Century.
This book is also a clarion call to our political leaders about
the challenges that still remain: the education of children in
care, the failure to stretch able youngsters and the problems
recruiting enough good science teachers.
Education is more open today than ever before, with league
tables and inspection reports. Yet for many outsiders, it can seem
a world clouded by its own language and rituals. Cyril Taylor opens
the door to that world, through stories of inspirational
headteachers and successful schools. By doing so he offers a vision
that is both instructive and inspirational, one that shows how
schools working with parents and the wider community can raise the
standards of achievement for all their pupils.
