How does this affect education and the life and work of schools?Research has shown that there is a correlation between academic achievement and the strength of community life and awareness within a school.

The book contextualizes the current debates within education around the many topical ideas being developed by communitarian thinkers, including:character building; the role of parents; the community and the individual; values education and citizenship; community education; and standards and ethos in schools.Throughout, the book makes specific reference to the practical implications for both primary and secondary schools as well as for further education colleges.This is a timely book that should be of interest to all those working in schools and with children and young people.
