Read the new Knowledge

The Knowledge front cover, June 2016

In the new edition of the Chronicle's free education magazine The Knowledge we look at why - and how - schools are now teaching "British values" along with everything else.

We go with a group of pupils whose idea of a school trip is to take off to Sorrento to see the sights and learn how to cook, Italian style; find out the progress of seeds from space, mark the 40th anniversary of Grange Arts Centre and the 100th anniversary of Castleshaw's outdoors centre, and find out how two sisters are helping children in a poor part of Kampala.

Elsewhere we look at ways schools are reducing the pressure of exam revision, talk to a champion Thai boxer - aged 13! - and mark the remarkable record of one school's netball teams in a town renowned for the standard of its netball.

We quick march along with Greater Manchester Police's local cadet unit, talk to a woman keen to expand girls' interest in physics, see how some children in primary schools are getting reading help.

All this and much, much more in the latest edition of The Knowledge - which you can read free online by clicking on the eChron tab above!
