"A preparatory school in Lancashire has become the first in Britain to allow parents to watch their children's progress from the comfort of their homes or offices," reports today's Telegraph.
"Pupils at Sunnybank Preparatory School, Burnley, are filmed in their classrooms from the moment they start school to the moment they leave. Their parents can monitor their progress at any time of the day by logging on to a secure internet site. The system shows the school in real time, but recordings of specific events, good or bad, can be retrieved and saved on CDs."
"Barbara Cross, the head teacher of the £950-a-term school, is delighted with the initiative. "It's working even better than we imagined," she said yesterday. "Parents who work away find it particularly useful.""
