In Britain, there has been a rapid expansion of overseas branches being opened by elite British private schools. \u003cem\u003ePrivate Schools and Cultural Capital\u003c\/em\u003e offers insight into the workings of private schools that continue to provide an advantage for their students. Author Rachel Louise Stenhouse reports on the role played by teachers' social and cultural capital in reproducing privilege in private schools and how this capital is transmitted to students through their preparation for application to elite universities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on data from interviews with teachers, observations of lessons and teachers' own reflections to provide an insight into the workings of one private school in England, Stenhouse contributes to an understanding of how private schools are able to continue to reproduce the privilege that their students enjoy. Using the theories of Pierre Bourdieu as a fitting framework in which to understand how private school privilege is reproduced, the chapters also provoke discussion about the prominence of \"cultural capital\" in the Ofsted school inspection framework and the role played by teachers in private schools in developing cultural capital in their students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA timely addition to the literature on private school advantage, this is a compelling resource for international readers working in policy, academia, or education with an interest in social inequality and in particular the workings of private schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Louise Stenhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835493114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835493113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Rachel Louise Stenhouse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448691929343,"sku":"9781835493113","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f405e07d-f78a-4c36-8502-31bcdfbec7de.jpg?v=1777260049","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/private-schools-and-cultural-capital-rachel-louise-stenhouse-9781835493113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
