Prof. Carol Fuller (Professor of Sociology of Education, University of Reading) was recently interviewed for a Times Educational Supplement (TES) article, titled ‘Why Christmas is important in schools’. 

The article, released just before Christmas, draws from interviews with a number of academics whose research help to explain how “Christmas brings children and teachers closer together, breaks down barriers in parental engagement, builds community links and even improves pupils’ learning”.

Drawing from the research findings of her Marvellous Mums project, Prof. Fuller argues that that community and relationships are key.
