The chapter explores the strange paradox of schools/academies preparing young people for life in a very rapidly changing context and yet seeking solutions in tradition rather than research. It is viewed using the model of culture developed by the American theorist, Edgar Schein. Culture is difficult to define, but generally refers to the complex ‘whole’ including, knowledge, experience, beliefs, morals, customs, laws and characteristic of humans as members of society. Culture, in the Schein model, is viewed as using persisting solutions to earlier problems. Not all culture is positive and this argument is advanced, but certain cultures will support the psychological needs of students and indeed staff. Others will tend to deflect individuals from the educational agenda, as they try to meet their own personal needs. There is a brief exploration of current research being undertaken into Place and Belonging and how this offers one prism reviewing the culture in our schools and academies.
