In this module students will be analysing the factors that are predictive of educational success and failure for children and young people and exploring the implications of this analysis for school policy and practice. These factors will be considered at the level of the individual child, the family, the school and the neighbourhood using data from case study material drawing in part on students' individual working contexts. Issues of class, gender, disability and ethnicity will be considered. This analysis at the level of an individual in a particular locality will be compared to educational outcomes from national and international data sources.
