    Does the rhetoric work? Parental responses to new right policy assumptions.Pam Boulton & John Coldron - 1996 - British Journal of Educational Studies 44 (3):296-306.
    This paper examines the extent to which parents have absorbed New Right ideas about education and acted accordingly. What emerges is that their commitment to the rhetoric of school choice is strong. However, concepts such as the market and competition are viewed less favourably. An important theme here is the avoidance by parents of any collective agenda in discussing education policy, a factor that may thwart those who attempt to predict their responses to government policy for schools.

    Selection by Attainment and Aptitude in English Secondary Schools.John Coldron, Ben Willis & Claire Wolstenholme - 2009 - British Journal of Educational Studies 57 (3):245-264.
    This paper presents the findings from a study of the admission arrangements for all secondary schools in England. We sketch the history of selection, answer questions about the scale and extent of selection by attainment or aptitude including an account of partially selective schools, consider the similarity and differences between selection by aptitude and by attainment and analyse some of the issues associated with both kinds of selection.
