It has fascinated me since growing up in a single parent family on the outskirts of Belfast – before attending the lowest-performing secondary school in Northern Ireland.

John Bald: Social mobility and education’s Angry Brigade

Rather than allowing the greatest opportunity for each individual to excel, the educational establishment want to hold them back – in the interests of “levelling attainment”.

Kevan Collins: Gathering evidence of what techniques work in the classroom should be welcomed

Setting or streaming tends to benefit high-attaining pupils, but this can be to the detriment of lower-attaining learners.

Rob Halfon: Is it time to get rid of charitable status for private schools?

There are better ways to spend money on education than on tax breaks for very expensive profit-making institutions.

Rob Halfon: What Littlefinger thinks about ladders. Why he’s wrong. And why Corbyn is wrong about them too.

The Conservative view of opportunity is nearer the truth than the cynicism of a villain in Game of Thrones.

Nicky Morgan: The choice before us as the Queen’s Speech looms. Adapt to our new circumstances – or hand power to the far left
