Abstract
Clennon outlines an innovative approach to community grassroots-led education that is based on “Multi-agency partnership working” and “Education-led Community Enterprise”. Using the Making Education a Priority initiative, led by Manchester Metropolitan University as a case study, the chapter seeks to describe how communities on the ground are attempting to negotiate their own pathways through the ideological challenges that face them, namely: “Culture of Low Expectations” and “Changing the Ideological Landscapes in our Schools and Classrooms”. Clennon intends this chapter to act as a short guide for communities that will introduce them to practical ways of thinking and working with some of the philosophical and ethical challenges brought about by the structural inequalities in the UK’s education sector.
