Poor Condition — £2.33

What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

New - a brand new book
Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

With up to 30,000 young people leaving schools in the UK each year with few if any qualifications, despite the best efforts of many schools to address their needs, have we got the design and organisation of our secondary schools right? Is the Government's ambitious 'Building Schools for the Future' programme in danger of re-housing old problems in new buildings? Following his investigation for Chanel 4's Dispatches programme, The Children Left Behind, former head teacher James Wetz asks: how can we organise our secondary schools so that all young people are encouraged to learn and gain a stake in society? With experience of running large urban secondary schools himself, Wetz is convinced that size is a crucial factor. Based on a learning community of 350 pupils, where staff teach no more than 75 pupils a week, the urban village school will put relationships at the heart of its organisation and design. Wetz outlines its principle features and includes plans and visualisations from award-winning architects, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.
