The school I used to teach at had the lowest results in the borough, but the highest value added - in other words, although looking at the former made it appear that the school was doing a bad job, they were actually making the biggest difference to their pupils. The Living Lounge has soft seating and a small kitchen where you can prepare hot drinks and light snacks. For David Cameron’s government, our PISA level became a rhetorical tool, and an enabler of Michael Gove’s reform agenda—why can’t the UK be more like Shanghai? A well-appointed modern kitchen, with a range of floor and wall mounted units, a central island and breakfast bar, features a range of built-in appliances including a double oven, an induction hob with extractor over and a dishwasher.

Most schools were fairly traditional in their set up, with a board of some description at the front and desks facing it. The chapter also includes an interesting section on Maths teaching principles and practice which is likely to be of interest to the Maths teachers amongst us. To make you feel safe and at home, Clevelands has a secure living environment, with swipe card access to the buildings and flats and a dedicated operations team.There are en-suite bedrooms or standard rooms with access to communal bathrooms, shared by three to five students. We are delighted to be rated an ‘Excellent’ school by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), and this is down to our focus on providing a well-rounded education in a positive learning environment with our experienced and dedicated teachers. Based in Bolton, we have earned the reputation as one of the most successful independent schools in the Greater Manchester area.

She then spent time working in schools and living with teachers in six 'top-performing' education systems; the basis for her book, 'Cleverlands: the secrets behind the success of the world's education superpowers', one of The Economist's 'books of the year 2016'. The result is a book which should be read by anyone who has an interest in improving education – and a testimony to the merits of crowd funded publishing.

School entry age and reading achievement in the 2006 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This point is succinctly illustrated by a quote from a Japanese parent on page 65, ‘Japan is a country where if you want to go into society you have to go by the rules, so you have to first learn in school to go by the rules’. I'm an engineer and take performance metrics for granted, and in health care you can look at average lifespan, cancer survivability rates and what not to see if we are being healthier, do you mention any metrics in your book for education and how one should interpret them? Stay up to date with our upcoming public engagement events programme for the IOE Coffee Breaks, IOE Debates, and Professorial Public Lecture series.I signed up for a Masters degree, keen to learn more about how education systems could be run better, and discovered something that came as a shock: these countries were not doing what our politicians said they were doing. I'm aware that there is a higher incidence of wearing glasses in Singapore, and I may well mention it in the book though I probably won't make a feature of it.
