Bransgore Primary School, in its idyllic setting on the edge of the New Forest, is not a place you’d expect to find infants debating the state of international politics and the developing world. But for the past year they’ve been following the International Primary Curriculum – IPC - which offers an integrated approach across subjects and gives pupils the chance to share ideas and projects with schools elsewhere in the world following the same curriculum. The result….a whole new thinking outside the box.
Reporter, Sara Parker went along to listen in on some of the lessons and talk to pupils and teachers, parents and the head, Peter Pretlove, and in the studio Libby Purves talks to Theresa Forbes, the director of the International Primary Curriculum.
