Upstart : the case for raising the school starting age and providing what the under-sevens really need

Palmer, Sue, 1948-2016
Books
Sue Palmer examines research ranging from neurological science to educational data, and shows that under 7's gain most - educationally, physically, socially and psychologically - from not being stuck behind a desk. She puts forward a passionate case for Britain adopting a proper 'kindergarten' stage that recognises what under 7's really need. With clarity, ease and vigour, Palmer describes a different way of doing early years education that would have huge benefits both for individual children, and for the nation.
