This study looks at the parity and prestige factors in English secondary school education and initially written in 1955. It looks at the desired aim of the secondary school as ensuring that every child receives the education most suited to his or her capacities and interests, irrespective of social class or occupational destiny, with the reality that some school may acquire prestige from the social standing either of the majority of his pupils or from the occupations for which they to be prepared.

Book excerpt: Britain has a rich heritage of school buildings dating from the later Middle Ages to the present day. While some of these schools have attracted the attention of architectural historians, they have not previously been considered from the educational viewpoint. Even schools of little or no architectural interest are important sociologically, since the changing architecture of schools reflects changing ideas about how children should be educated and organized for teaching purposes. In this second volume, originally published in 1977, Malcolm Seaborne and Roy Lowe carry the historical record into our own time. Like its predecessor, the volume studies the development of school architecture and its influence on the organization of the school, and relates architectural questions to the educational and social forces which influence the design of schools. The authors have chosen representative examples which illustrate the main trends in the development of school design and construction.

Book excerpt: Specially commissioned to mark the 40th Anniversary of History of Education, and containing articles from leading international scholars, this is a unique and important volume. Over the past forty years, scholars working in the history of education have engaged with histories of religion, gender, science and culture, and have developed comparative research on areas such as education, race and class. This volume demonstrates the richness of such work, bringing together some of the leading international scholars writing in the field of history of education today, and providing readers with original and theoretically informed research. Each author draws on the wealth of material that has appeared in the leading SSCI-indexed journal History of Education, over the past forty years, providing readers with not only incisive studies of major themes, but delivering invaluable research bibliographies. A ‘must have’ for university libraries and a ‘must own’ for historians. This book was originally published as a special issue of History of Education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain has a rich heritage of school buildings dating from the later Middle Ages to the present day. While some of these schools have attracted the attention of architectural historians, they have not previously been considered from the educational viewpoint. Even schools of little or no architectural interest are important sociologically, since the changing architecture of schools reflects changing ideas about how children should be educated and organized for teaching purposes. Documentary material relating to education is often fragmentary, and buildings may thus constitute the only real source of knowledge about the development of particular schools and can also throw light on general educational history. Originally published in 1971 and 1977, these books are, therefore, not only a major contribution to architectural history but also a study in the development of educational ideas and practices from the fourteenth to the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: First Published in 1970, The Extra Year discusses the raising of the school leaving age, a crucial event in British education. It is also highly controversial: its repercussions affected teachers, educationists, parents and employers as well as pupils themselves. Each of the contributors to this book examines one aspect of its implications. After a general introduction by Professor Tibble, Malcolm Seaborn looks at the historical background of the decision to raise the school leaving age and Professor Eggleston considers some of its sociological aspects. Professor Tibble then examines the ways in which the situation will affect pupils and their teachers, John Sheehan discusses some economic factors and Tyrrell Burgess looks at the implications for further education. The headmaster’s point of view is given by Albert Rowe and probable changes in the school curriculum are analyzed by Dennis Lawton. A final chapter by Professor McAulay discusses American experience. This is an important historical reference work for students and scholars of education.
