Written in a clear, approachable way, this textbook provides an introduction to the science of phonetics: how speech sounds are produced, how we classify them, and how they are processed to allow the rapid transmission of language- based messages. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is ideal for a beginner to the field.

This book unpicks the strategy, policy and culture that has supported the social mobility success story of one of the UK's leading schools, the London Academy of Excellence. It distils this into universal concepts and ideas that school leaders, in any context, can consider for their own schools.
