Sustaining the Comprehensive Ideal : The Robert Clack School Hardback
by Trevor Male, Ioanna Palaiologou
Hardback
- Information
Description
This book explores the development of educational leadership within difficult contexts via the lens of a previously failing English secondary school in an area of urban poverty.
Based on extensive interview data from 2012-2016, the authors demonstrate that the fundamental ethos underpinning the school’s improvement is a desire to meet the needs of young people in disadvantaged communities in order to equip them with the skills to allow them to transcend their situation.
The authors posit that this school embodies the ‘comprehensive ideal’ of secondary education in England: that education should not be disadvantaged by background, and that the state should provide free and high quality education for all.
This book will appeal to students and scholars of comprehensive education and schools in difficult contexts.
