Educating the More Able Student What works and why

Well-travelled, and often polemical, the authors have achieved a triumph of collaboration. The strength of the book is in their shared and uncompromising view that the most able are being ignored in the UK.  They are right and they must be heard.

The well read, left-wing reformer and the free-thinking establishment heavyweight have done their homework. Instead of getting lost in the debate about identifying the most able, they have pursued a practical path and toured the world to find out what more can, and should, be done. Instead of concluding that the solutions are complex, they have concluded that the solutions are many.

This results in a refreshing perspective and it might just be enough to stir all of us in schools to wake up, get up off our seats and do something for a change. Professor Ralph Tabberer CB
