England testing its ability to leave no child behind

Prettygate Junior School near Colchester in Essex, England, has been chosen to take part in a government pilot project aimed at ensuring no child falls behind or gets stuck in an educational rut. Prettygate and the other 483 schools in the project will be challenged to make sure that all children move forward and progress at acceptable rates, said head teacher Barry Hawes. Under the pilot, the Department for Education and Skills will pay for outside tutors to come into the school. The school also has looked at how its teachers assess pupils and is making more use of teacher-based assessments to evaluate children's progress.
