The nursery and reception teachers saw what was coming: children arriving at school already behind, and the support that might have helped in their earliest years thin and scattered. So they started running groups for local families. This film, from Bligh in Medway, is not the story of one heroic school. It is about a trust that decided every one of its primary schools should be a proper anchor in its community, with support for families built where they already are, from a child's earliest days.

In the middle of lockdown, a headteacher in Chard sat down and wrote a letter. Not to families about remote learning, but to the whole town: come and have breakfast with us. It sounds like a small thing. It wasn't. This film follows what happened when the leaders of one secondary school in a Somerset market town stopped treating the gaps around children as someone else's job, and started bringing the whole community around one table.
