Simple narratives around race/class (e.g. "white working class" low attainment in education) obscure far more than they reveal and play into the racist narratives of the right. Looking @amit-singh.bsky.social's forthcoming book particularly important for unpacking this further.

Sol Gamsu@solgamsu.bsky.social · 4w ago

...and the North-East does substantially better. The actual dynamics around the intersection of region with race, class, gender and disability would need detailed qualitative/ethnographic work in schools. The social conditions for education have to be understood geographically and historically.

Whenever there's a post on regional inequalities in results, I always think of Leckie's paper (bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) adjusting progress 8 results for pupils' backgrounds (ethnicity, gender, FSM...). Do that & London's advantage shrinks. news.sky.com/story/gcse-r...
