Complementary Schools

The seminar series brought together research from recent and ongoing projects on complementary schools in the UK and internationally.

Primary page content

This ESRC-funded seminar series was set up by Peter Martin of University of East London and later directed by Charmian Kenner of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøºÚÁÏ, with Jim Anderson (51³Ô¹ÏÍøºÚÁÏ) and Louise Archer (King’s). Four seminars were held, including one at University of Birmingham co-organised with Angela Creese, and a final conference.

The seminar series brought together research from recent and ongoing projects on complementary schools in the UK and internationally. The objectives were: to exchange and share knowledge and research evidence on complementary schools in the UK; to facilitate cross-disciplinary and international dialogue with regard to research on complementary schools; and to critically assess public policies with reference to research evidence.

Seminar themes were: Multiculturalism and Multilingualism; Every Child Matters and Parenting; Professional Development -Teachers and Curriculum; and Social Inclusion and Links with Mainstream Education.  Project Director: Dr Charmian Kenner
