This book is about 'left overs'. It's like a cookery book, only it doesn't focus on quality fillet or how to deal with oysters; it does not look at Bordeaux or Burgundy. It is about schools, learning and how we have ended up with the most selective system of education since the early 1900s.

'Scandal of Admissions in Secondary Schools' aims to highlight and describe the challenges, failings and potential solutions to a situation which is in urgent need of scrutiny and attention.
