The Social World of the School. Education and Community in Interwar London, Hardback/Hester Barron

This book argues that the interwar classroom shaped twentieth-century Britain. It recreates and analyses life in London's elementary schools in the 1920s and 1930s, building a mosaic of the educational experience. It argues that schools were grounded in their local communities and should be seen as key drivers of social change. -- .
