Annette Street

Visited a formal colleague who is now teaching at Annette Street primary school in Govanhill.

90 per cent of the children there are from the Roma community, and are often learning in a second language. This means lots of differences from other schools in the city, classes are more flexible and there's a big focus on visual arts.

The teachers, children and parents face quite a few challenges and it was eye opening and impressive to see how they are working together.

The kids were fab, happy and funny and full of energy. The building is stuffed to the brim with their pictures and other artwork.
