Future school: Lessons by laptop
laptop computer
Teachers will answer e-mails out of school hours
Anyone who's ever been stuck on a particularly tricky piece of maths homework knows that sinking feeling: it's eight o'clock in the evening - and you, your parents and your big brother have no idea how Long Division works.

Well, if you're lucky enough to go to one school in Northamptonshire, help could be just an email away.

Campion Secondary School is using its website to encourage 24/7 learning.

Pupils can access their homepage on the school's computer system at any time of the day or night.

They can e-mail in their homework for an instant verdict from their teacher - or ask a question if they're really stuck.

This morning on Breakfast:

Our reporter Sarah Campbell has been to Campion School to find out more.

  • How does your school measure up to the ones we've featured in our series so far?
  • We're looking for schools which have revolutionised their approach in some way.

    You don't have to be at the cutting edge of technology.You may, for instance, have a new approach to discipline, or even the lay-out of the classroom itself.

  • If you think your school could feature in our Schools of the Future series, you can use this form to e-mail Breakfast.

    Name
    Your E-mail address
    Where you live (don't forget your phone number)
    What's special about your school?

    The BBC may edit your comments and not all emails will be published. Your comments may be published on any BBC media worldwide.
