Social class is often seen as an intractable barrier to success,
yet a number of children from disadvantaged backgrounds still
manage to show resilience and succeed against the odds. This book
presents the findings from fifty Child and Family Case Studies
(CFCS) conducted with 13-16 year olds. The authors look
specifically at the roles that people and experiences - at home, in
schools and in the wider community - have played in the learning
life-courses of these children; how these factors have affected
their achievement; and explanations and meanings given by
respondents to the unique characteristics, experiences and events
in their lives. Featuring the voices of real parents and children,
and backed up by a decade of quantitative data, this is a
compelling record that will help readers to understand the complex
nature of social disadvantage and the interplay between risk and
protective factors in homes and schools that can make for a
transformational educational experience.
