Two Bob's Worth of Trouble: Film Screening, Talk and Discussion, 3-5pm, 26 June 2014
Two Bob’s Worth of Trouble is a short fictional film made by teacher Simon Clements and his third year class at Walworth School in Southwark over the academic year 1961/2. Inspired by colleagues in the London Association for the Teaching of English, the film was a product of the progressive teaching environment at Walworth where Clements and colleagues were working to reimagine what English teaching could be. Uncovered as a result of research for the Leverhulme Trust-funded ‘Social Change and English: A Study of Three London Schools 1945-1965’ project, this event is supported by follow-on funding at the Institute of Education. We invite the audience to enjoy the film while reflecting on its wider social and cultural value and potential use as a source in the history of education.
