The findings indicate that head-teachers' values are linked with aspects of school climate which are, in turn, linked with students' own values.

Positive school climates contribute to academic achievement and can improve outcomes for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, according to a new study published today in Review of Educational Research, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Educational Research Association.
