Educating Drew: The real story of Harrop Fold School

Product Information

Instead, it is a disarmingly honest and charming account of the joys and challenges of working in a difficult but intensely rewarding school community. He delivers the messages in a very clear fashion which I’m sure will be memorable for a long time after the session. As a coach he has the natural ability to recognise potential, and guide people through any tough work and life situations. In business terms this means helping leaders to be the best they can be, and supporting them to achieve their short- and long-term goals. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Starting out as an intern at trade bible Screen International, he was promoted to report and analyse UK box-office results, as well as carving his own niche with horror movies, attending genre festivals around the world.

Through sheer determination and strong, visionary leadership, Drew and his management team (including his two brothers) have wiped out the GBP600k a year deficit and are reducing the huge debt - while continuing to get standout results from pupils. But production on the series wasn't as straightforward as before due to a story that broke after filming finished in July 2018, which left Channel 4 unsure whether the series would actually air.But whilst the Educating Greater Manchester TV show is one of the best things I've seen this year, Drew Povey's book is even better. However, Povey announced his resignation as headteacher of Harrop Fold in September 2018 and revealed that the school had been accused of "deliberately 'off-rolling' students and coding attendance incorrectly".
