Description
Why do disadvantaged students continue to get a poor deal as they progress through England's education system?
Challenging orthodox thinking about school exclusion, this book powerfully advocates for a fairer education system for disadvantaged students.
It argues that the current conceptualisation of 'exclusion' - physically removing the student from the school - is insufficient. This approach fails to recognise the layers of exclusion that these students encounter. Students can be excluded within their schools (inner exclusion), not just from school (outer exclusion).
Drawing on student experiences of exclusion and the perspectives of senior leaders, including the author who is a Head of School, this book demonstrates how we can create a fairer education system for disadvantaged students.
Advance Praise
"A must-read for all those concerned about growing inequalities in education. Its compelling message on school exclusions, and the damage inflicted on disadvantaged young people, should be read by everyone involved in education." Diane Reay, University of Cambridge

Kirsty S, Educator
Meticulously researched and absolutely heart-rending. Anton McLean writes compellingly about how the education system is failing our most disadvantaged students. Students already behind their more privileged peers are more likely to be excluded, both internally and permanently, creating wider gaps and sending more children on their way into the exclusion to prison pipeline.
Interviews with students and staff at Pupil Referral Units drive home the impact these decisions have on the lives of young people and those who work with them.
McLean discusses the reasoning behind exclusion in a fair and balanced manner and is clear in his propsals for a fairer future for these young people. A must read for everyone working in secondary education.
