An unprecedented collaboration between leading names from the independent and state sectors, this thought-provoking book addresses the current crisis in education for the most able.

Grounded in the classroom, the authors draw on their own first-hand experiences and international research to scrutinise techniques and practices from leading countries, exploring the more divisive issues that have damaged teaching worldwide.

Demonstrating what works well in teaching the most able, and also what does not work, the book offers a radical solution, a stimulus to thought and a way forward for teachers, academics and all those with responsibility for ensuring high standards in education, including governments and members of regulatory authorities.

Industry Reviews

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.
