"Summerhill remains unique and different ... its underlying
principles and its founding beliefs have informed and influenced
generations of teachers in both sectors. It will continue to do
so." - Professor Tim Brighouse, Commissioner for London
SchoolsSummerhill is a world-renowned school in England where
pupils decide when and what they will learn. The school was
established in 1921 by A. S. Neill, who was named by the Times
Educational Supplement in 1999 as one of the twelve most
influential educators of the 20th Century. Known as 'the oldest
children's democracy in the world', Summerhill allows pupils to air
their views, propose new school rules and construct future plans
for life at the school at the regular school meeting. This unique
book contains key extracts from Neill's classic text Summerhill, a
worldwide bestseller since its publication in 1962, and features
contributions from A. S. Neill's daughter, Zoe Neill Readhead, who
is the current Principal. She updates the story of the school -
larger and more vibrant than ever before - from Neill's death in
1973 to the present day. In his contribution, Tim Brighouse
discusses some of the ways in which the influence of Summerhill and
A.S. Neill still extends throughout the world today. Ian Stronach,
who acted as expert witness during the infamous court case, tells
the story of the British Government's attempt to force untenable
changes or close down the school in 2001, and the school's
subsequent landmark victory in the Royal Courts of Justice. The
book offers a truly inspiring account of a remarkable school, which
promotes progressive change in the way pupils are taught and shows
how real experiences of democracy can be created for young people.
It is essential reading for teachers and trainee teachers,
headteachers and school leaders, local education authorities and
parents.
