Serving a high poverty neighbourhood, The Ramsgate School was challenged by national targets, low levels of attainment of the school intake at 11 and difficulties of recruitment and retention of quality staff. The local housing estates were amongst the most deprived in the country and shared the school?s negative reputation. The school became The Marlowe Academy in 2005 with new leadership and a new building (in 2006). Student numbers increased, attendance and attainment came close to the national average and the atmosphere in the school was transformed, though the characteristics of the pupils in terms of special needs (twice the national average) and deprivation (more than twice the national average entitled to free school meals) remained unchanged. This book questions the notion that school improvement and school leadership are key areas to focus on when the socio-economic circumstances of pupils, poverty, dwarf all the other factors which are related to the educational progress of students. 410 0$aStudies in Professional Life and Work ;$v7 606 $aPoor children$xEducation$zGreat Britain 606 $aEducational equalization$zGreat Britain 615 0$aPoor children$xEducation 615 0$aEducational equalization 676 $a370 700 $aParsons$b Carl$0938347 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779898203321 996 $aSchooling the estate kids$93857231 997 $aUNINA
