Danny Murphy was headteacher in Crieff High, Lornshill High and McLaren Academy. He was crucial in establishing the Scottish Qualification for Headship and has written thoughtfully but incisively on Scottish educational dilemmas. His new work, Schooling Scotland (Argyll Publishing) is the latest in the Postcards from Scotland series, examinations of contemporary Scottish society.
In the context of the referendum debate, when every argument was bent to fit either a pro-independence or pro-unionist perspective, the Postcards from Scotland are a refreshingly non-partisan but sharply probing alternative to the twisted logic which characterised so much of the so-called debate. Murphy’s take on schooling continues that honourable tradition.
