The COVID-19 pandemic has left inequalities in schools wider and
uncertainty about the future greater. Now seems an appropriate time
to think about the contribution schooling makes to the communities
it serves and the country generally. However, drawing on his recent
research, Richard Riddell argues that the increasingly narrow focus
of Education governance after 20 years of reform has made new
thinking impossible and has degraded public life. Nevertheless, he
highlights new possibilities for democratic behaviour and the
opening up of schooling to all it serves.

The portico is one of the most characteristic and significant
features of western architecture and, yet, perhaps, also one of the
least closely observed. Redolent of Antiquity and comprising the
essential vocabulary of classical architecture in the form of the
orders - columns, entablatures and, usually, pediments - it evokes
past glories and epitomizes the modular system of design that is
central to that architecture. It has often played a key role in, or
acted as a barometer of, stylistic innovations. Used widely in
Antiquity, especially in temples, the portico suffered a decline
following the dissolution of Roman imperial authority in the West.
However, sufficient literary and physical remains survived which,
when viewed in particular ways, enabled it to regain a central
position in architecture, following the Renaissance. Revived in
Italy, it was subsequently adopted elsewhere in Europe and
eventually in this country, and it is to the tentative introduction
of the portico to Britain in the early seventeenth century, its
widespread use throughout the eighteenth and much of the nineteenth
centuries, and the beginning of its decline towards the end of our
period, that this study is devoted.
