It attempts to make sense of what are all essentially \u003ci\u003efree schools\u003c\/i\u003e by interviewing the architects of policy and their closest advisors, analysing the extent to which they invoke historical expressions of conservatism and\/or liberalism in their articulation of that convergence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book offers a unique insight into educational policy-making during the Conservative\/Liberal-Democrat coalition era (2010-2015), and an in-depth analysis of the nature of liberty as it relates to state education in England. Providing original interview transcripts of the key reformers, and new accounts of a sometimes contentious history, Hilton identifies an elite 'policy community', connected by educational background, moral-religious frameworks, life experiences and shared networks of common ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcademies and Free Schools in England will be vital reading to academics and researchers in the field of education and education policy.
