What is good about schools? Despite the impact of culture and context on judgements, there is a solid core of generally undisputed characteristics that embody good schools.
We prefer, for example, orderly to disorderly schools, well-managed to badly managed schools, schools in which pupils show progress over time, and schools in which teachers monitor how well their pupils are doing.
We believe that students should feel safe in good schools and all are treated fairly. We are in favour of an education which emphasises respect for the dignity of every person in the school community. We prefer schools which provide an all-round, holistic education to schools that are narrowly focused.
