Ever since my feeling of almost embarassment in having FLL (on the other side of the world!) point out what's screening on UK TV I've been looking more closely at current & previous listings. Screened during May/June 2008 on BBC4 this series is an absolute gem.........if these fail to impress you really have no business being here!
I have all three, but will release separately every couple of days simply editing this post. Heartfelt thanks to geclipse, the originator.
[Image][Image]This new three-part series explores one of the most significant turning points in a child's life - the transition from primary to secondary school.
Each film focuses on a different part of Britain and a contrasting type of school - a girls' boarding school in England, the Scottish high school that is the only option for children raised in the remote islands of North West Scotland, and an inner-city London comprehensive.
Shot over eight months, the films take an affectionate look at how children change as they start facing adulthood for the first time. Only children are interviewed and their honest, positive and touching insights build a bigger portrait of children on the cusp of adolescence in Britain today.
This week's opener follows four 11-year-old girls as they leave the familiarity of their prep schools to join the prestigious Cheltenham Ladies' College.
