Policy makers’ concerns about the quality and equity of schooling have generally resulted in interventions which have increased the use of more prescriptive pedagogical approaches and reduced the possibility of teachers making decisions about content, methods and assessment (Gerwitz, Mahony, Hextall & Cribb 2009). This has played out in teacher education programs which have increasingly focused on ‘delivery’of an existing national curriculum, rather than building a base of pedagogical content knowledge which can be used to both adapt and invent (Hulme & Menter 2012). Some schools, however, have been able to exercise more control over what they do than others (Ball, Maguire & Braun 2011; Hart, Drummond, Swann & Peacock 2012).The rationale for these changes has been the continued gap in learning outcomes between students from wealthy homes and children and young people from low-income neighbourhoods. The policy problem is generally presented as one of poor teaching and school effectiveness rather than wider social structures and inadequate public policy (Thrupp & Wilmott 2003).‘Progressivism’is continually held up as a major blockage to reform. Researchers wanting to make a difference to the inequitable outcomes of schooling of these young people run the risk of significant political/media derision if their suggestions do not mesh with official directions (Jones 2003; Wallace 1993). 1
