The Accidental Head

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Turf Wars, The Accidental Head

Beth plans to fight tooth and nail for her son's school place.

Edged out of her local catchment area, Beth vows to fight for her son's school place. Stars Katherine Parkinson From March 2011.

Beth just wants what's best for her 11 year old son; a solid secondary education at the kind of school that recognises his genius, as well as his aptitude for baroque music. A school like Folgate. 

But when the family is edged out of Folgate's catchment area, a battle begins.

Beth takes on the might of the council with a mixture of community action, ancient by-laws and sheep. 

Written by Jeremy Front.
