The New Pupil

Transcription

I'm here as part of a trip that we have been running from Babington Community College, which is all around the Pupil Premium. All students, two terms ago, were told that there was this chance of an all expenses paid trip to London and they were challenged to be the top ten in Year 7, 8 or 9. To come on this London trip I needed to two terms of good behaviour and grades in Science, Maths and English. I had to work hard and improve my progress in the last two terms. I've had to have no records for two terms and improve my grades in English, Maths Science. Today has been a kind of walking tour around London, the main sites really. We've seen Big Ben, we've been to Westminster, we've been along the Thames, seen the London Eye, walked down to Trafalgar Square. I told my mates that I was going to London and then they got really jealous. This guy did the limbo that was really low and it looked impossible, but it's not. Other than that, we saw some acrobats and one of them was putting his arms round his own neck and twisting it. It was very disgusting. We are tracking right now, free school meal students outperforming our non free school meal students by four percent. That's absolutely massive, so the national gap is around about 23 percent and we have flipped it the other way, to four percent. We are immensely proud at Babington. The students have been working so hard and the gaps are narrowing everywhere. I think they are getting a great deal out of it and I think they will realise more what they are getting out of it when we've got back to school and we sit down and we look at the photos and we talk about it.
