A headteacher in one of the UK's most deprived areas has revealed how he turned his school around, despite pandemic pressures, as he defended criticism of the younger generation.
James Eldon is celebrating this week after seeing his school Manchester Academy win a major teaching award for his efforts to turn it around.
Mr Eldon, who has been in teaching for 30 years - 12 of which as a head - was awarded 'secondary leader of the year' at Wednesday's Education Business Awards.
