Beschreibung
Principled arguments are frequently made for and against faith schools, without evidence from empirical research. This book attempts to address this issue by offering a rich in-depth ethnographic case study of Catholic secondary schools, exploring pupils’ perceptions of life in the Catholic secondary school in twenty-first-century England.
