Under the Walnut Tree

Synopsis
Traces the development of The Grove School as a community resource. From a formal primary school in the 1960s the school expanded in the 1970s to include children with special needs, especially those with a visual impairment. When rebuilt after a fire in 1982, it was purpose-built to accommodate children with special needs from the closed local special school as well. Explores the integrated approach of the school, involving teachers, parents, carers, physiotherapists, welfare assistants and student teachers.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. 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
