NOTES ON THE JOURNAL: Low income is a significant factor in low attainment; 14% of variation based on school impact; experiences out of school are vital; less advantaged children feel a lack of control over their own education; out of school can help build self confidence; there’s a development of resentment from those who feel a lack of control; lack of feeling in control about their own future; being negative and having low aspirations brings back that control; uk has steepest socio economic ‘gradients’ in education among similar countries; children are highly aware of their socio economic status; ethnicity has a significant impact; disenchantment and disengagement can happen as early as KS2; students perception of teacher behaviour varied by background; development of confidence being built outside of school pivotal; key to build relationships with the family as well as the student; contrasting experiences in education and associated emotions; activities outside of school allow for new learning relationships.
