Educational consultants Tom Barwood and Heather Flint visit Hurst Community College, Hampshire, to discover if low motivation amongst boys is to blame for a lack of progress in raising GCSE grades.
Still smarting from a recent Ofsted visit which highlighted its lack of progress in improving results, some within the school see the problem as being laziness, especially amongst boys.
