I doubt you'll be surprised that amid a difficult transition between primary & secondary school, working class children & those from ethnic minorities are often more adversely effected than the majority population.
Perhaps the most obvious difference is related to how success is judged with secondary schools emphasising results over self-development.
Unless we sort this out generations of children will continue to have a torrid time at secondary school.
