Barnaby Lenon was educated at a Direct Grant school and Oxford University, taught at Eton, Sherborne School, Holland Park comprehensive and Highgate School, and was head of Trinity School Croydon and Harrow School. He has been a governor of many schools, state and independent, and is chairman of governors of a free school, the London Academy of Excellence. He is on the boards of Ofqual, the New Schools Network, the Yellow Submarine charity for young people with learning disabilities, and chairs the Independent Schools Council.
Higher standards, school autonomy, exams that stretch, getting the
basics right - all the education reforms we have undertaken in
recent years have been based not on ideology but simply on what
works. That is what Barnaby Lenon explores in this fascinating
assessment of all that is good (and bad) in education today. A
must-read for teachers, parents, policy makers and anyone
interested in making sure that all children are able to reach their
potential.
