Abstract
This study explores gender differences in United Kingdom primary teachers' perceptions of their careers, through a national questionnaire survey and follow-up interviews. It is framed by reference to Weiner's three main components of feminism (the political, the critical and the practical), and a concern to highlight difference and complexity, as well as patterns and trends, within primary school teaching. Female and male respondents indicated different areas of concern and influence on their careers. It was found that, while reported reasons for not seeking or achieving promotion were multifaceted, the known and experienced disproportionate promotion of men, plus the frequently traditional gender differences in work – home orientation and contextual/situational expectations, contrived to limit career development for a significant number of women
