Bowling Park Primary in Bradford is an amalgamation of two schools, one of which was formerly in special measures. Recently arrived head Stuart Herrington has worked hard to improve on historically poor rates of attendance and has worked closely with staff to ensure that pupils work in SMILE - a 'super magical inspirational learning environment'. Year 6 pupils Ibby and Scarletta show Mick round the New Cross site, dropping in on a Year 5 class before their visit to Whitby, an African drumming class where Mick gets to play the drums, and an after-school garden club. In the afternoon Chelsia and Caveem take Mick to the Usher Street site where they explain the rewards system for attendance, and we see writing inspired by the school's newly-hatched chicks.
