My Story, Richard Riddell Mosley
The biography of Richard Riddell Mosley.
Equity, Trust and the Self-improving Schools System
Interviews with senior managers in schools, academy chains and regions indicate that the developing regional organization of schools is a more consistent context for reducing longstanding disparities in pupil attainment than the declining local authority systems it replaces. Long-term school partnerships can deal better with inequity in schooling
Schooling in a Democracy
The COVID-19 pandemic has left inequalities in schools wider and uncertainty about the future greater. Now seems an appropriate time to think about the contribution schooling makes to the communities it serves and the country generally. However, drawing on his recent research, Richard Riddell argues that the increasingly narrow focus of Education governance after 20 years of reform has made new thinking impossible and has degraded public life. Nevertheless, he highlights new possibilities for democratic behaviour and the opening up of schooling to all it serves.
Aspiration, Identity and Self-belief
Inequalities of circumstance are still profound in the UK. Evidence gathered from original interviews shows how the aspirations of young people develop in light of their social circumstances.

Schools for Our Cities
Schools serving urban areas are at the forefront of state education and on their success depends a high quality public service accessible to all. Urban schools worldwide have received much attention from national and local policy makers, not all of it helpful. This book looks at how provision can be brought to a high standard."Schools for Our Cities" plots the social, political and economic changes of the past thirty years which have shaped the context for the current work of urban educators. Ranging from international perspectives to local case studies, it examines the nature of the particular educational challenges they face and the implications for teaching and leadership of the ways inner-city children learn. The book concludes with an assessment of what schools in urban areas - individually and collectively - need to be like to be successful and how this might be achieved.In writing this book for policy makers, academics, teachers, heads and school governors, Richard Riddell has drawn on his considerable experience as a Director of Education and as senior education officer in local authorities with substantial numbers of urban schools in the UK.
'Temple Beauties'
The portico was a defining feature of the Classical architectural revival of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century in Britain, but has been rarely studied in its own right. In this well illustrated volume Richard Riddell first provides a definition for the portico, then explores its symbolism and significance.
