I’d like you to join me in the playground of a small comprehensive school in Berkshire. It’s first break and all the kids are running outside in a burst of energy, desperate to make the most of their 15 minutes of freedom. Year 7’s are at the far side of the playground, still finding their feet at “big school”. We walk together down the path towards the younger children. Some are “playing” not wanting to leave their old primary school rituals behind; others are in discussion or flirting in mixed groups. Our eyes are drawn to a smaller boy, Stuart, alone in the corner of the playground. He looks happy enough, just “being” by himself, he’s watching the others interact, taking it all in. One of the other boys, Bradley, breaks from a group and walks over to him.Tuesday, May 13, 2014
