September is back to school time and we’re looking forward to getting stuck into headteacher Sammy Wright’s new book, which shines a light on Britain’s national exam obsession, and seeks to answer what education is really for.

Plus we have a new book from Alastair Campbell, a comforting piece by Janan Ganesh in the FT, and an evocative audiobook rendition of David Copperfield.
