The site is divided into three main sections which can be accessed using the buttons at the top or bottom of every page. (Clicking on the Education in England logo always brings you back to this page). History Education in England: a brief history tells the story of England's schools from 597 to 2010. In addition to the main text (117,000 words in twelve chapters), there's also a timeline of major events, education acts and publications (the most visited page on the whole website), a glossary and a bibliography. Documents Almost all the important reports on education in England and Wales since the 1920s are here: Hadow, Plowden, Bullock, Warnock, Cockcroft, Swann and Elton etc. There are also more than a hundred Acts of Parliament passed since 1825, and various other government and HMI publications. Articles Here is everything I've written about education since 1987: 29 articles on primary education, pupil grouping policies, faith schools, academies, creationism, school meals and religious education in Oxfordshire etc; 19 book reviews; some teaching aids and school policies; plus my five attempts at writing fiction. Site changes Please note that I recently changed the navigation buttons which appear at the top and bottom of every page. If your browser is still displaying the old buttons (four of them, including the 'Home' button), click on Reload or Refresh - otherwise you may not get to the section you want. Nothing else has changed - the content of the site remains the same. |
