Overview
Eighteen years of Conservative stewardship ensured that the Labour government's education policy did not begin with a tabula rasa, for its starting point has been defined by the previous government to a greater extent than any other incoming government has found. In this book the practitioners discuss the micro effect of the policies in their schools. This book will make an important contribution to continuing debate about the best way forward for state education in England and Wales.

Present and past headteachers evaluate the British government's educational policies and achievements halfway through Tony Blair's first administration. Noting the divided school system left by nearly two decades of Conservative rule, they find the government has neglected the need to devise fair and equitable selection and admissions policies, and has failed to solve the issue of low morale among teachers and the crisis in teacher supply.
