Schools are complex institutions. They do not easily reveal themselves to researchers who rely on only one or two methods. Understanding a school, its neighbourhood and its students requires a researcher with a more complex repertoire of verbal, statistical and visual research strategies. Place-Based Methods for Researching Schools shows how multiple methods can be used together to research schools, rather than dealing with decontextualised methods, one by one. Taking a novel theoretical approach to the school as a ‘place’, the book offers grounded illustrations of schools as places from real case study and ethnographic research conducted in both Australia and the UK. A practical guide, this book explores the on-the-ground questions researchers are likely to face in the order they are likely to face them. The chapters not only look at data generation approaches, but also address analysis of the data and writing about the school, topics that are often ignored. Methods explored for use include those drawn from urban planning and geography to explore neighbourhoods, visual surveys, mapping, classroom observation, ethnographic observation, interviews, focus groups, sociograms and linguistic corpora. Including research tips from the authors, case studies, a glossary and annotated further reading list, this book is essential reading for students and scholars approaching their research project.

Pat Thomson is Professor of Education in the School of Education at the University of Nottingham, UK. A former headteacher, she works with teachers and artists using action research and ethnographic approaches. Her research focuses on arts, learning and change in educational, gallery, museum and community settings. Christine Hall is Professor of Education in the School of Education at The University of Nottingham, UK. Formerly a secondary school teacher, she has worked in teacher education for the last 20 years supervising numerous students and teachers on school-based research projects. Her research is on literacy and the arts in schools.

The authors are generous with their suggested further reading and because of the geographical lens offered these are likely to give the reader references that many educational researchers will be unfamiliar with. The quality and depth of the approaches that the authors suggest make me particularly confident in the robustness of these qualitative data generation approaches. However, the authors do not shy away from the quantitative data that can be generated through national databases. A rich picture of one school can be generated if their advice about place-based research is followed. Overall, this book has much to be commended on and I highly recommend it to any researcher involved in school-based research.
