Video The Crunch: Under Examination - SOM-CRUNCH VC26/2
When Head Teacher of Hurlingham and Chelsea School (UK) Michael Murphy arrived at the school, it was a post few would envy. The ‘failing’ school had narrowly escaped closure and suffered from demoralised teachers and undisciplined pupils. But with Michael Murphy taking a firm hand at the helm, the quality of education that the school provides has been transformed. By introducing business to the classroom, he has made teaching a career for his staff, rather than a vocation, with offers of performance-related pay through promotion. And the pupils? They've had a shock too.
