Abstract

As in many parts of the world, there is concern for small schools in the United Kingdom (UK). Motivated by this concern, a group, which included researchers and educators amongst others, came together to compile a manifesto, a set of statements about the importance of small schools and their value to education and wider society. Inspired by a manifesto produced in Italy, the manifesto for small schools and associated briefing notes for the UK were published in 2022, following a year-long collaborative process informed by research, practice and politics.
