The link between a child’s background and their chances of success at school and in later life is known to be strong. But it is not the determining factor - schools can and do make a real difference to learning outcomes. This book describes a range of effective practical projects in schools and the principles underlying good practice.

The book is a follow-up to the best-selling Trentham handbooks by Robin Richardson: Here, There and Everywhere (2005) and Holding Together (2009). It has the same engaging layout, with much use of case-studies, stories and pithy quotations. Most though not all of the practical examples are drawn from one local authority, Derbyshire, but are of wide relevance and interest, both nationally and internationally.
