Reach for the sky is a film about a Manchester council housing estate dubbed the most deprived place in Britain-and at its heart a primary school that was threatened with closure.
It is also a film about how that little school discovered its own voice- a singing voice- that transformed not only the children but also the very community around it.
Save our school is a film about how a tiny country village school fought back against the threat by a remote municipal officialdom to shut it down-despite the fact that it was a shining and outstanding example of how children should be taught in this day and age.
Commissioned by a leading local businesswoman, this DVD became a critical weapon in the community’s successful campaign in preventing the closure of the school and the destruction of the very heart of the village.
