Reforming Lessons: Why English Schools Have Improved Since 2010 and How This Was Achieved by Nick Gibb

Reforming Lessons provides a first-hand account of the ambitious programme of reform that has led to a transformation in English schools since 2010 and seen pupils rise through the ranks of international comparison tests such as PIRLS and PISA.

'Perhaps the most important story in the education sector over the last two decadesThis book should be required reading both for those who seek to develop school systems that achieve similar successes, as well as those who seek to avoid undermining what has been so remarkably accomplished.'

Doug Lemov

'Reforming Lessons tells the story of how England's schools were transformed in a decade of reform. It's essential reading for any education policy maker who is serious about wanting real improvements in children’s reading and higher academic standards.'

Governor Jeb Bush
