Abstract

This chapter focuses attention on policy in England, and particularly on recent attempts to refashion both curricular content and pedagogic identities. These changes are seen as counter-revolutionary, an intervention by culturally conservative policy-makers to reverse the gains of the preceding, more progressive era. The analysis of policy is framed by vignettes of practice, from 1985 to the present, from which the reader is invited to conclude that schools remain both sites of struggle and places of possibility.
