Harry Potter school

Nov 15 2007

Movie heroes Shrek and Harry Potter cast a spell over pupils at a once-failing school - with Hogwarts-inspired lessons said to be behind a dramatic reversal in fortunes.

Wizard-themed lessons are just one of the techniques woven into the curriculum at Robert Mellors Primary School, in Nottingham.

Children dress as their favourite Harry Potter characters, chant spells and use their wands in maths classes.
