 Week commencing Welcome to my website. I hope you find it useful. If you do, and you'd like to let others know about it, you can download a poster (in pdf format). There's a bit about me and about the site on the information page, which includes the latest reader statistics and links to other sites. Comments or questions about anything on the site are always welcome - send me an email. I do my best to ensure that all the links on the site work, but if you find one that doesn't I'd be very grateful if you'd let me know. Derek Gillard |
Contents
The site is divided into three main sections which can be accessed using the buttons at the top or bottom of every page. (The Home button always brings you back to this page). History Education in England: a brief history was completely rewritten and updated in 2007. It tells the story of England's schools from around 600 to the present. In addition to the main text (40,000 words in six chapters), there's also a timeline of major events and education acts, a glossary, a bibliography and an updates page. Documents Here you'll find the full texts of 24 important education reports published between 1867 and 1992, including all six Hadow Reports (1923-1933), the Plowden Report (1967), Bullock (1975), Warnock (1978), Cockcroft (1982), Swann (1985) and Elton (1989). There are also a couple of major HMI survey reports and various other government publications. Articles This section contains everything I've written about education since 1987. There are thirty or so articles (including major pieces on faith schools, academies, creationism, school meals and religious education in Oxfordshire) and a number of book reviews. It also includes several school policy documents and my five attempts at writing fiction. |
