Fifteen thousand hours: findings and implications

Abstract

The research involved a detailed study of twelve non-selective inner London secondary schools serving a socially disadvantaged area. It had its origins in a longitudinal survey of children in the area, and was influenced by research from both Britain and America which indicated that schools varied quite markedly in their rates of attendance, reading problems and academic attainment and even in factors such as delinquency.
