Ethnic diversity a key factor in London schools outperforming rest of country says research. I don't expect Theresa May will mention this.

@JuliaHB1@greenmiranda@Helen_Barnard as I said I'm just using the term 'ethnic diversity' descriptively. Sorry if you don't like the term. -
@adamjlent no, it is misleading, inaccurate and wrong. Nothing to do with whether I like it or not. Lazy writing and lazy thinking. -
@JuliaHB1 As I said I wouldn't reduce the term 'ethnic diversity' to purely meaning differences in skin colour.

@JuliaHB1@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard No one has mentioned skin colour. Benefits or otherwise of immigration. Maybe we at cross purposes! -
@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard yes, Adam was praising "ethnic diversity" as a factor. What is that but skin colour? -
@JuliaHB1@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard Surely includes culture, traditions etc? All of which important for valuing education (or otherwise).

@JuliaHB1@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard last 20y was there not a £ focus on innercity schools (hence seaside town slide recently)? -
@DavidMcAndrews@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard indeed, another big factor -
@JuliaHB1@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard Reasons are varied, but there was drive to get top teachers in innercity schls (more pay) -
@JuliaHB1@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard extra pay also linked to living costs and to create more incentive for top grads to teach. - 1 more reply
