Description
School should equip children for adulthood. In reality, it means one thing: exams. Exam Nation sets out a better way and, crucially, shows us how we might get there.
'An essential read - as entertaining as it is insightful - for anyone who cares about the way we treat young people ... Brilliant OBSERVER
Educationalist and Head of School Sammy Wright argues that grades, rankings and Ofsted reports all miss the point of school, and together they are undermining our whole approach to education. Rather than sorting pupils into winners and losers, we need to think differently about what our schools are actually for to see them as communities not factories if we are to give all young people the opportunities and future they deserve.
Such a compelling read TELEGRAPH
Deeply absorbing ... Wright deserves the highest marks FINANCIAL TIMES
