Small schools, those with fewer than 100 pupils, face big problems because of limited budgets, limited numbers of staff and children, and isolation in rural communities. So is there anything that other schools can learn from them? In this programme we see how Burrington C of E Primary and Widecombe-in-the-Moor Primary Schools, both in Devon, have found creative solutions to their potential problems. Both schools would claim that their smallness can actually bring considerable and special benefits to their children.
