[Music]

Warminster in Wilshire an exclusive

300-year old bording school with 400

pupils and a 9 million budget I have no

doubt that Miss Ward and her pupils will

be made welcome we have two education

systems in this country State and

independent and there's an element of

never the twain shall meet the bemrose

school in Derby a state-run

comprehensive for over 700 pupils and a

5 million

budget I can't recall ever having any

connection with any private education at

[Music]

all private and state for Generations

the educational Gulf dividing Britain's

school

system hello now in a unique experiment

these two head teachers have agreed to

swap sides hello very nice to meet you

what we deliver at this school is

rightly regarded as just about the best

education in the world they could pay me

500,000 a week I would never be the head

Mistress of

Warminster joining them will be three

teenage pupils from each

School the likely probably there a

stereotype of me is some like Posh kid

who has a

mansion does Private School really give

you a first class

education I don't think you would get

the same level of help if you went to a

state school why do I get everything

handed to me but I like a lot of luck

and does a state education really mean

second grade no I finished this bottle

the bottle is Finish Well I'm after the

sheets being finished this might sound

crazy I want to go to Oxford or like

Cambridge somewhere big if I don't get

my head down to school I'll probably end

up doing nothing in my life

this building is very important this is

the original School building started

work on it in 1705 finished in 1707 and

the doorway was designed by Sir

Christopher

Ren Mark Mortimer is Headmaster of

Warminster School in

Wilshire he's been a teacher for 15

years and took on his first headship at

the school in

2014 Lord Waymouth founded the school in

1707 with the purpose of educating for

free the sons of his estate workers

obviously in the intervening 300 years

we've moved away from that purpose

particularly we are a fee paying

school Warminster school is a boarding

and day school set on a 60 Acre

Site costing more than £27,000 a year to

board the school has 64 teachers a dozen

tennis courts and a Juda chair

the chair has been with us at least 200

years and we know that

because on the back is some graffiti

that dates from 1826 1827 lots of my

predecessors had their portrait painted

sitting in this

chair private school educated himself

teaching isn't Mark's first

career he went to Sandhurst and then

spent eight years as an army officer

have you looked at the website obviously

so what your thoughts hav you looked at

it now Marcus heading 150 Mi North to

bemrose comprehensive and Derby on the

first leg of the school Swap and have

any of you been to dby no with him are

borders John and

Katie and day boy Xander who has never

experienced state school there only one

week and I've got thick skin so I don't

I don't need to worry about all that uh

sort of teasing they're likely probably

to have a stereotype of me some like

Posh kid who has a mansion and 50 cars

or something but hey let's break a few

um

stereotypes I think I will get to see a

new sort of culture effectively a new

setup a new

environment I'll probably therefore

realize how fortunate I am

I generally feel like I've always been

in this bubble of private school and so

I'm hoping to get out of the swap a

deeper understanding of what state

school is actually like cuz it's such a

mystery to

me like I don't want to just go there

like oh hi I'm Katie okay I'm judging

your school okay

goodbye um I want to be able to like Le

get on

there joining and Xander on the weeklong

swap is

John morning sir morning John how's it

going he went to a state primary but his

parents felt Warminster would be the

best senior school for

him I'm not particularly good at math so

I have a math learning support lesson

when I first came to Warminster they did

a test as soon as it becomes five it's

close to 4,000 they found out that it

would probably be a good idea if I got a

little extra

help I don't think you would get the

same level of help if you went to a

state

school I don't think it waiting to meet

their private school guests are bmr's

head teacher Joe Ward and three of her

students NZ cim and Brett M how are you

feeling I'm feeling nervous right now

nervous are you anxious I wanted come

quickly as possible I can't wait yeah I

just want to meet

them Ben Rose was was built in 1930 and

was originally a grammar school it's

been a comprehensive for 40

years Joe Ward has been head here for

over a

[Music]

decade I think this is probably my

favorite part of the

school one of the things which I've

always been struck by is how the

building creates an atmosphere and a

sense of presence but also a warmth so

that the place feels as though it's um

friendly and inclusive and and people

will want to be here I went to a Girls

Grammar School in Darby and my first

time standing in this school hall was as

a 12-year-old singing my heart out the

songs from the maard

[Applause]

[Music]

Joe took over at bemrose after it was

classed as failing in

2003 all right then my some not engaging

they need to engage the longer that I

have been in education the more

convinced I've been that education is

the key to unlocking the inequalities in

society I'm sitting okay guys have we

got any questions so far about what's

going on if we are are going to make

Society a fairer place um for future

citizens than the place in which you can

begin to make those changes is in a

school I'm interested to have the

discussion with my opposite number at

the school about what they regard as an

excellent

education I think that if every school

in the country focused on what the

independent sector focuses on then I

think

we frankly we we'd be

sorted just 7% of us have been educated

at a private school but those who have

disproportionately dominate the

country's top

[Music]

jobs I'm really interested in what it is

in the private school which is leading

to those more High Prestige careers

because if it's something that I can

replicate here I'd like to do that and

if it isn't then at least we know don't

we I've got this horrible sinking

feeling that it's not what you know it's

who you know but we'll

see here we

are you

[Music]

go hello morning Mark Mortimer

Headmaster of Warminster private school

is spending a week at bemrose

comprehensive in

Derby I'm a SW to you joining him in a

school swap are three of his

pupils Katie John and Xander and it's a

lovely morning thank goodness I see

you've all got your white shirts and

your black trousers on ready excellent

you'll soon look just like we do bemrose

head teacher Joe Ward and three of her

pupils do you want to show the way are

their guides for the week going after

[Music]

you so how many children have you got

here about 700 and something right I

can't tell you exactly because we do get

extras most every two or three weeks

we'll get another batch of children

arriving and then maybe a couple will

drift off so over the last year we've

probably gone up about 100 150 children

arriving from where Slovakia Syria Iran

right uh

Doncaster yeah we we get we get our new

arrivals are usually direct from

overseas and usually don't speak English

or don't speak English very much at all

okay good morning my name is Mr

Wilkinson welcome to you today this

morning you're going to do some tests we

all don't like tests the the worst

things in the world but we use these

tests to be able to put you in the

correct

groups okay and we look at your ability

in English maths and

science this morning 13 new pupils are

being admitted to

benrose and our private school students

are joining the latest intake the school

is a very old school has a lot of

history to it it's a school we are all

very proud of okay we are what struck me

about the admissions process is children

arriving at odd times of the school year

I try to meet every set of parents of

pupils before they come to the school I

I think it's very difficult for Joe and

her team to meet the parents here before

the children have

started in the tests the private pupils

score average reading ages of over

18 the new bem's children score an

average reading age of a

seven-year-old all of them have English

as a second language

[Music]

in fact that's the case for over half of

benro

students and a third have special

educational needs like dyslexia and

autism once they're in every pupil is

assigned to one of four School houses

each with its own distinctive colored

tie just go three sweatshirts with um

badges yeah and uh we need three tires

is um we need one green one red and one

blue wearing their new uniforms the warm

inst pupils are shown to class by the

bemr

students Zander joins Brett in art

class gentl we actually going to do work

or we just sit in

chair S no I finished this bottle the

bottle is finished well I'm after the

sheets being finished

all right so let's chatter that was that

was every time we are talking we are not

working if we can do both great until

then shut

up what do you think it's fun to like

mess about it's just a laugh is it it's

just a laugh it's

freedom but you have to know when to

stop and like do your work as well

though you can't just keep like going

all the way through the lesson actually

not going to get any work done and get

in trouble yeah do you think that'll

affect you in the future by like messing

around lessons Well yeah if you mess

around you're not going to get the

grades you need are you so why are you

messing around then for fun I do like a

little bit then I stop I don't carry on

like all the way through a lesson right

need put away I think my behavior is

good most of the time but then it can go

a little bit

dodgy I think education is important

because if you don't have it you've got

less of a chance of getting a job if you

don't get a job you're not going to be

able to pay for a house house pay for

your food pay for your

family and like personally I wouldn't

really want

that if I don't get my head down in

school I'll probably end up doing

nothing in my

life I'm sorry man something that

private schools I find are very good at

are giving people's confidence

confidence in who they are and

confidence in the in that who they are

is a good thing grind your foot into the

and to be proud of it and not to be shy

or worried about what other people think

[Music]

I really love engineering and I decided

that engineering will be the thing that

I go

[Music]

into what time do you start well I wake

up at 6:30 in the morning I can't do

that but the the actual day starts at 20

to 9ish yeah that's registration I got

up at 8 this morning I up at 8 every

every you go home at

5 5 holy wow I he like it's like it's

kind of

alien

aliened that's a

word

yeah it doesn't suit your look

mate what do you think of this school

what is it I think they teach you to do

well the lessons are good

still late I found it quite difficult

see still BR I think it's difficult for

quite a lot of kids to pick which side

of the fence they go whether they join

in with silliness or whether to go

against that and say look this is my

future this is my learning you're only

in this school for 5 years and you're

out in the world for 60 years

so I know which way I'm going

nearly all private school pupils pass

Five gcses including English and

Maths for state school pupils it's just

over

half bemrose has the same number of

teachers as Warminster but double the

number of

pupils so is teaching at private school

superior to the state

sector the private school Headmaster

Mark Mortimer agreed to teach a lesson

Mark is a history teacher and took on a

firste GCSE group from a bemrose

teacher they clearly got a fantastic

history teacher anyway uh I guess I'm

slightly nervous of not measuring up to

to her high standards and obviously I'm

hoping I get some interaction because

otherwise it's going to be a long

hour has anybody got any questions about

what's happening

today no okay I'll leave to you okay as

Mrs goldon said what we're going to look

at is the Vietnam War you're going to

watch a video clip and it's from a film

called Apocalypse Now which some of you

may have seen this is a scene of

American helicopters coming into

attack in terms of the quality of

private education I have mixed

feelings some of the weakest teachers

I've ever known have been recruited into

the private sector to

teach and therefore I'm

thinking do do they teach to the Quality

that that my teachers teach or is it the

case that because the children perhaps

are more compliant you can be more lazy

imagine you came into this classroom and

I was lying on the floor in a pool of

blood and there was a great big knife

sticking out of my

chest what are you going to deduct what

are you going to

think what did you say n it was a murder

it was a murder but there's no sign

saying murder

you have made a deduction based on the

evidence right okay shal can you give me

the rules of Connect 4 please while Mark

is teaching bem students you need two

players that's a good start yeah two

players private school pupil John is

getting his first taste of maths in the

state

sector right um just give me a minute of

your time

please one of the questions is there's a

lighthouse now guys I'm going to tell

you something random I'm scared of

lighthouses I actually have a phobia

about lighthouses and it's called Bop

phobia all right Mr Thomas has been

teaching at bemrose for eight

years he's constantly um helping you

he's walking around he's being

interactive it's math which is one of my

less enjoyable lessons but I really

enjoy math when I'm being T by Thomas

which is a really good thing what about

if we look outside and the CL the clouds

are really black

what do you think's going to happen St

Lucas Good lad it's going to rain that's

a deduction he doesn't leave for the

people out so it's like let's see if I

sit all lesson quiet and I don't want to

give feedback he still invites you to

the lesson right boys what have you got

so far I think the self-esteem of the

student goes up as well when he actually

talks to you personally and gives you

his open Opinion ask for yours as well

15.5 over

24.7 can we just do that one please they

had over 30 pupils in that lesson so

they actually had to move a couple to

another

classroom if you have a class full of

lots of other students then there's more

people to talk to I think that's the

thing that most people get distracted

by if I was there for a long time then

yeah I might not work as hard and I want

your books he wants it can have it at

Warminster John has been entered for

Foundation level maths that means the

top grade he can get is a

c I haven't done trigonometry before but

I did it today pretty easy um had a bit

of fun yeah it's good it's nice at

bemrose there's a different assessment

of his potential without being too

contentious to me if John was in this

school he would be in a set one we'd be

looking for a grade eight at

least when someone like that says

something like that it it makes you feel

so

good to seat it's great it's it's a

really nice feeling inside it just shows

that State education doesn't necessarily

mean worse education just means

different and different sound can

sometimes be good which is obviously in

the case of Mr Thomas has anybody got

any questions that they'd like to ask

sir before we go okay stand behind your

chair please I was struck by some of the

children in the history class that Tau

this morning who were good you know but

they lacked confidence but I could see

that they surprised themselves when they

answered the questions girls byebye what

on you good stuff it's clear that there

are a lot of socioeconomic factors that

that clearly have an impact on the the

children's wellbeing and how they

perform at

[Applause]

[Music]

school B Rose's catchment area includes

some of the most deprived parts of

derby with more than half of all

students receiving free School

meals but some Thrive despite extreme

adversity I'm from Syria I lived in a

city called alipo and I'm originally

Kurdish my dad had to leave Syria in

2004 for political re seasons and our

family was split for seven really long

sad

[Music]

years in 2011 we got the chance to

reunite with my dad in the UK which was

a dream come

true since then we've been trying to

adjust to the life in the

UK Naz lives in the normanton area of

Darby

this week she's partnered with private

school pupil Katie and has invited her

home for dinner it's a bit garlicky have

food that's good thank you all right

yeah my parents tried the hardest to

find me the best school and the best

place for me to live so for my future

and I want to prove them right I don't

want like all the hard work going for

nothing I came here the only words I

spoke was like thank you very much and

then yeah I would like I would get much

you like food

yeah um

more your parents pay for Education you

feel like if you don't do well then yeah

it's like a waste of money or you

disappointing them like in my case I

want to finish uni I don't want to be

just like some random person working in

an office like that's not something for

me so you want to be like what do you

want to be so I enjoy baking I enjoy

music and and like enjoy messing around

so i s thinking if like a primary school

teacher might be quite cool cuz that's

like your Dream Drop That would be like

a really cool job yeah oh are you going

to like work in private school or like

state school I actually I don't still

about it actually you want a big job

when you're older yeah maybe let's be

prime

minister you can borrow

when you see people like NZ like really

determined like she knows what she wants

to do whil I'm sort of more drifting

around like oh seems like a nice

possibility oh that might be quite nice

piz I feel like having Warminster it

sort of gives you a chance to try

everything if you're a BOS and you have

a clear idea of what you want to be then

that's fine but if you don't I feel like

you can sort of get washed away with the

rest of the other pupil's there

right we all need to have a book and we

all need to read so if you've not done

so already please gra there's some

students who don't really care what they

do and how they succeed and if they're

going to be successful or not because

there's that one switch in the head this

turned off and that's basically because

they have they've given up they've given

up on being

successful they don't believe in

themselves the head master of Warminster

private school and three of his pupils

are spending a week at bemrose a

comprehensive State School in

[Music]

Derby and alert for room 34 thank you

this morning the private Head Mark

Mortimer is on duty with State head

teacher Joe

Ward they are responding to a call for

assistance from a teacher in a classroom

every teacher has got a computer and

they've got a link to the

Central uh system so they will press a

button on their computer and that will

alert us to which room it is and there's

always a senior member of staff on duty

and at the moment it's us

yeah the system enables intervention to

stop disruptive behavior by

students right have they got books that

they need to get out Miss yes we're in

the process of we need organizers in

front of you we need books in front of

you you get your pens out on the desk so

that you are ready to

learn some children had been playing up

in a lesson taken by a supply

teacher but Joe quickly resolves the

situation if pups need to be removed

from class they are taken to a

designated room where they are

permanently monitored Hello nice to meet

you what sort of numbers do you get in

here in a typical

well it can vary I think over the the 11

years I've been here I've probably had

about 4 days when there hasn't been any

students in here at all right normally

isolations you're

looking a figure of about 10 10 to 12 a

day right sometimes that can be

absolutely rammed and what sort of

things typically are children in here

for low level disruption uniform issues

uh fighting in the classroom you name it

lots and lots of things yeah a lot of it

comes from family backgrounds uh

irrespective of where they're from but

some of some of the students don't know

how to behave so they have no boundaries

at home I would suspect your numbers are

a lot lower than ours or the numbers are

a lot lower uh we have something similar

to seclusion we call it internal

suspension internal suspension gets used

once twice a year at

most is your room is it staffed by a

person we don't actually have a room so

it's just Senor management it would

probably be that the I I don't know to

do we'd have to fight do you want me

down

there the comparison with Warminster is

pretty Stark you know it's very

difficult for children just like adults

to do well and to thrive if they've got

problems if they're unhappy if there are

things distracting them we're extremely

lucky at War the children are getting

the same messages at home that they are

at school and that to me is very very

important

[Music]

woman finishes at like

5:00 and so to me that's normal

performance have finished at like 3:00 I

just have more time to mess around watch

TV I expect her right now to walk into

my next lesson or something or or go

somewhere where I need to be but I don't

really need to be anywhere right now so

it is

strange it's not just the longest school

day which was different for Katie and

John like half of all pupils at

Warminster they both Bor spending weeks

at a time away from their

parents one of the advantages we have at

wer is time we are a 7-Day a week school

so Saturday is all about sport but

there's often things in the evening

Sunday we have Chapel for the borders

and there's plenty of activities there

it is a wraparound care while after

school clubs are on offer at

bemrose most children leave the school

by

3:00 so what you doing in criet today

cassim heads home with his buddy for the

week John so what would you want to do

as a

job earn Millions for doing absolutely

nothing that would be a brilliant job I

know but I'm afraid one like that

doesn't exist it does

what growing up inheriting your parents'

money making someone else run your

business just get the

money that sounds like a good job I

would love that I think more

words about 3:15 I arrive home and then

just eat upstairs get changed play Xbox

until dinner Char just say I've never

had an Xbox One controller it's pretty

cool only 360s isn't nice I'm a bit

jealous CU like you guys in school so

early and you don't have any preps you

got so much free time if you have

detentions would it be in school time

cuz like you're in school time all the

time so there's not really detention

it's like lunch times like

detention it kind of sucks I cover had

like all one detention this year really

I'll get away with

it in woman you've always got something

occupying you which means it's less time

for you to mess around I think that

maybe I wouldn't have the same amount of

discipline

here despite it short to day B Rose

invests heavily in pastoral

care come through this is Cherry Deputy

head Neil Wilkinson shows Mark around

the school's dedicated unit students

will come in through the main entrance

here they'll they'll come to the window

and they'll Lea ideally with the head of

house if they're upset about something

or something's happened to them or they

want to disclose or you we'll bring them

in I always believe that school is the

most stable F thing for many of them in

their day

um so when they come to school they know

that they're cared for they're wanted we

will provide for their need as much as

we possibly

[Music]

can the office is staffed by four

full-time heads of house whose job is to

offer support to

pupils when children arrive unhappy or

when something goes wrong for them they

need help on that day and not to the

second but very quickly after the need

arises so if your support mechanism is a

teacher then they're going to say to you

oh I'm ever so sorry but I'm teaching so

I can't actually help you until 4 hours

time one of the ways cherry tree helps

pupils is restorative

justice hi girls how you mark joins head

of house and dayon as she oversees a

session join us in the circle sir all

right now um you want to start Chanel

can you tell me what happened then

Chanel please we were walking out from

the DT block yeah and as I was coming

out Victoria

yeah slapped me around in the face okay

thank you for that you heard what she

had to say now can I hear what you have

to say what happened coming out came my

friend and they are small pain and lot

of people and I'm scared here and and

they pushing each other and and sorry

and okay so you felt like that you'd

been pushed and shoved and that you then

so you slapped her back yeah okay how

did we sort this out between what do you

think needs to happen like she don't

tell me like f Beach or so you want her

to stop saying making comments to you in

lesson okay fair enough and what about

you Chanel maybe you could think about

what you're saying

yeah yeah is that fair from what

Victoria said to you yeah is that okay

yeah yeah Chanel good thank you

Chanel so what's the threshold for

coming to you for anything um this just

happened yeah if there's an incident in

a lesson and and the teachers want to

get involved in that they'll let us know

and then we will do it later

yeah it is dealing with conflict and

it's teaching them the skills of how to

do that and it's actually re-educating

them in certain areas how you can

empathize with somebody and not have to

talk in that way to somebody else it has

had a massive effect and it spread

throughout the school so behavior is

karma everywhere's karma you're more

likely to

look I think it's a great idea I think

it's a great idea that you're not always

sanctioning children and punishing them

and that they understand the

consequences of their action it's

definitely something that that we can

take from from here and and Implement at

waron the school spends almost a million

pounds a year on additional support for

its

pupils a fifth of its annual

budget there are clearly a number of

children here who face significant

challenges just in terms of coming to

school understanding how to learn

speaking English having enough clothes

to keep warm enough food to

thrive when I'm back at Warminster

getting worked up about whether I'm

going to have asparagus or beans for

lunch remembering back to some of the

challenges that bemrose faces will be

helpful in me in putting some of the the

problems we deal with at War into

perspective I hope I don't forget

[Music]

that TR

all come on move now

private school Headmaster Mark Mortimer

is spending a week at bemrose

comprehensive School in

Derby I think there's a misconception

that success or achievement in

Independent Schools is about who you

know well that's nonsense that might

have been relevant years ago I don't

think that's relevant anymore

I think that the answer is that many

peoples leave Independent Schools

genuinely believing that they can

achieve anything they like if they set

their mind to it they have high

self-esteem and they have

self-confidence at bemrose that very

self-esteem and self-confidence are

lacking for some

students of particular concern are white

British

boys every Wednesday Brett Riley gets up

early to attend a breakfast club

targeting this

group in 2012 the bemrose school

received a good ofstead rating but the

need to improve the achievement of white

British boys was

highlighted Mr nice to meet you all

right me sit here yes that's fine

teacher Mustang Khan has been running

these weekly meetings before school for

the last

year okay we'll make a start cuz uh

time's really with us today we're going

to be talking about investing in

yourselves so joining Brett is private

school pupil Xander oh anybody he of

that kind of phrase investing in

yourself make sure we go to after school

lessons and stuff like that make sure we

get basically make sure we push

ourselves okay talk about on a general

level so there there's different areas

eating the right food

cheap tasty food okay which is

unhealthy what kind of foods am I

talking about Kebab okay Kebab you can

get a burger and chips for £150 what

happens if we eat this type of food once

a month is a big deal not as much as

having it every day so we all agree that

it's not good for us okay in the long

run these are your own decisions that

you need to be making okay

underachievement by white workingclass

pupils is a national

issue they are consistently the lowest

performing group of pupils in the

country there's millions of people out

there who have conditioned themselves

that it's not worth it you've gone a

lesson you've tried the teachers I don't

know said it's not very good and you've

actually belied that you're not very

good as well so you condition yourself

say you know what I'm not very good

we'll carry on with this uh next week

okay make sure you finish this take this

food L we're going to be making our way

to the

C we do my homework cuz school's for

work homes for my

time I've died like I've just never done

it it just doesn't really appeal to me

some of the reasons I don't do it is cuz

I kind of share room never have time to

myself to do it won't be able to

concentrate

properly and that kind of stuff but it's

actually saving the teacher time they'

have to go home and Mark it

so the kids are quite truthful they say

themselves you know some of them don't

like coming to school

because they don't enjoy it or because

they don't see the point both I've said

to him again and again I said Lads you

physically come to school but you're not

present yeah they find it hard to kind

of understand that you know I've got the

uniform on time you know what do you

mean and you know like switching the on

switch on yeah that's it isn't it I mean

they're going through the motions

they're going through the motions so I

was just trying to give them a take a

little bit of ownership yeah what we're

trying to do at my school is really very

similar to what you're trying to do but

it's this idea that you can get there

look there will be knocks along the way

there will be obstacles but don't worry

about that and it needs to be I think a

sort of Relentless focus on this across

the school so at every opportunity those

standards are

reinforced Marx a big believer in

developing character building qualities

outside the

classroom you enjoy boxing good St I'm

looking forward to

it nice to meet you you too can you tell

me what this is what this is about just

teaches a bit of discipline and it gets

them out of school for an hour it's open

to everyone it's open right the away

from year 7 till 9: are you taking part

yeah over

there all right come on guys let's

go Stan Khan runs boxing sessions for

bemrose pupils twice a

week this is just one of a variety of

non-academic activities and classes the

school pays for

right

Troy stretches mate do it as you walk

around just look at Troy we're sort of

10 minutes from school yeah and so the

the school pays to hire the gym here

theyve just got all the facilities that

we haven't got to school and what what

benefit do you think they get from it

ones that lacks self-esteem just builds

that confidence when gives them

something to do out of school stand by

off go research has linked social

Mobility to school leevers confidence

and

self-discipline hitting one of these

bags for a minute on a minute off it's

quite physically quite quite tiring you

know you've got to stick with that

you've got a clock in the corner

counting down you got to keep

going in terms of learning that actually

you can do it you can keep going is is a

good is important

lesson bbx is popular among students

that's it and often

oversubscribed yeah feel it

working it's about the importance of

children looking at things and thinking

well I've not done that before so rather

than therefore shy away from it actually

I'm going to engage with it and give it

a give it a go benrose it's got a lot of

space but it doesn't have all the

facilities but they're just not enough

hours in the day I think when your when

your day finishes at 10 to three and I

know there are after school clubs but uh

it's it's more of a challenge just from

a logistical point of

view the fact I think that at Warminster

we have the time and the resources

facilities to do that puts it puts us at

at an

advantage as the week draws to a close

private school pupil Xander visits the

home of bemrose student Brad hey come

on I didn't clean it that's fine does

matter so you share this with who Troy

all right cool it's

cool how much pressure is there for you

to fit in with everyone else and what

they're doing I just feel like if I

don't fit in with people I won't have

friends and stff like that

but I'm not sure really it's just bit

weird you know us you would be like

sticking around the kids who are nice if

you hang around with them a bit I think

you'll start like maybe learning like a

lot more and starting to enjoy it a bit

more yeah real you're really good at

giving advice aren't you so you when you

the peer pressure and that sort of

attitude of not wanting to learn that is

definitely something which sort of

starts to break down confidence because

suddenly you're

being being judged a lot more 36 equals

6 * 6 what is the smallest I don't know

Pizza I found the first couple of days B

Rose

I can feel people judging me I can feel

that it's confidence

sapping if I had been at mem for my

whole school life I think I wouldn't be

so

driven uh I wouldn't be so

determined they look amazing some of the

last got out in the middle of the night

to get themselves yeah with the

hair on the private school visitors last

day there's a party for students leaving

bemrose this

year going in how you yeah was do sir

all right Back At War I've outlined my

views on what makes a first class

education I suppose where I was slightly

naive

is how easy it might be to implement

that at

benrose it is easier in the context of

War but my idea

of what comprises a first class

education hasn't

changed for Mark's pupils it's been an

education of a different kind this week

go thank you it's been great very

welcome it's been absolutely wonderful I

think I would say I was sort of the

classic quite rightwing private school

boy when I walked in here and I'm

walking out with more understanding of

the world around me

why do my parents send me to Warminster

and your other kids' parents can't do

that it's lucky that I'm pass about 7%

which go to private school on you get

got a lot of luck you got the right

three yeah I find it really fun it's

been a real eye opener uh to what school

life is like in state schools it's also

reassured me that it's actually better

than I thought it was going to be in

State School
