From Child to Pupil

Synopsis: In making the transition from home to school life, children in Britain go through a period of upheaval in their lives. Filmed in Avon during 1987, this programme looks at the lives of several children just before and just as they start school at age five. Some have had the pre-school experience of nursery education or play group; others have so far stayed at home. The programme shows all these children embarking on a school career and brings out the expectations and experiences the children bring with them to school and what the school expects of them and their parents.

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
