• Sommario/riassunto: "This important study reveals the unique strengths of Quaker schooling. Newton’s excellent text raises important questions about the relationship between school culture and pupils' learning." — Patricia Broadfoot CBE, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Bristol, UK This book provides a unique critical perspective on the importance of values to school culture. Drawing on research in Quaker schools in England, and the perspectives of students, it challenges the idea that school evaluation should be primarily based on measurable outcomes and argues that values matter more to learning than is often acknowledged. Furthermore, the book provides important insights on how to research schools that claim to hold similar values, from multi-academy chains to other so-called faith schools. Throughout the text, the author underscores the importance of values to students’ dispositions, in order to engage with the learning opportunities their schools provide. He argues for seeing schools as places where equality, inclusiveness and mutual respect should be central, not only to help students understand our fragile, multicultural democracy, but also because these values open up the possibility of learners’ increased engagement with curriculum knowledge. Nigel Newton is an experienced educational researcher currently working within the Cardiff School of Education and Social Policy at Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK. His work has included an evaluation of the development of a new national curriculum, study of graduate employees, student course choice, and school culture.
