The Open School means much more than a building with open-plan classrooms. It ts a school which tries to fulfil some of the human needs of its pupils and their parents, and the society in which they live. This is the philosophy of Henry Pluckrose , Headmaster of Prior Weston Primary School in the City of London. Jane Finnis has been following staff and pupils during the school day and reports on how these ideals get translated into practice.
