This book provides a new study of the residential and school-level separations of the British student population from 2010-2017. It examines whether patterns of school-level segregation decreased or increased over the period, how those compare with patterns of residential segregation, and how changing geographies of ethnic segregation reflect changing geographies of social segregation. Given the enduring belief that segregation is both worsening and undermining social cohesion, the study is both timely and important.
