A description is presented of an improvement program that focused upon a small, flexible, open primary school. The school had been targeted for improvement because of rather low test scores. Improvement efforts focused on findings from four basic strands of school research: (1) structured learning environment; (2) academic feedback; (3) high teacher/high student expectations; and (4) time on task. Actions taken in each of these areas are briefly discussed, some results are noted, and expectations for the future are projected. (JD)
