"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
"Providing innovation, excellence and expertise to schools and academies across London and the South East."

What happens if you take 5 School Governors from Croydon, drop them in the town of Joensuu, Finland for a week and allow them to ferret around a number of schools to try to get under the skin of the Finnish education system. This film is a record of that trip, the revelations and surprises that it showed us not just about the Finnish education system but also what it said about our own back in the UK.
