Stowe and Stantonbury

Synopsis: In spring 1988, 20 students from Stantonbury Campus, a relatively new, custom-built, self-consciously innovative comprehensive school in Milton Keynes, changed places for three days with a similar number of boys from Stowe School, a boys’ public school close to Buckingham. The programme follows each group as they encountered the different educational practices of the host schools. The film does not deal with class issues, but concentrates on the different educational ideas which underpin the two systems.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
