Education isolation: the challenges of place for schools in England
Education isolation: the challenges of place for schools in England
Tanya Ovenden-Hope (Professor of Education at Plymouth Marjon University and Lead Marjon University Cornwall) presenting on her research on early career teacher retention and research conducted with Dr Rowena Passy exploring education isolation. There is some disagreement emerging in academia on the relationship between school location and pupil attainment. However, school leaders face place-based challenges that are not regional, but more contextual. Prof Ovenden-Hope has applied ten years’ of research with Dr Rowena Passy on coastal and rural schools, and research on teacher retention, to conceptualise ‘educational isolation’. In this seminar she will discuss the complexity in defining educational isolation beyond geographical remoteness, recognising the contextual situation of the school ‘place’, including socioeconomic and cultural opportunities in the community.
