Summary:

This open access book explores schooling from the perspective of children via data from a longitudinal life-history study. It questions whether schooling creates an environment where all children to flourish; or whether a policy focus on attainment in mathematics and English hinders some children’s wellbeing and learning. By drawing on the children’s life-history narratives and their ideas, the chapters also portray children’s realistic suggestions for practices that meet the needs of diverse children and strengthen their comprehensive wellbeing and learning within schooling.

Laura Quick is Research Associate at the UCL Institute of Education, UK.
