Abstract
The role of ‘class strategies’ in policy formations are sometimes unseen as plans are unrealised in practice over long periods of historical time. ‘Subterranean class strategies’ are an extension of existing work on class to consider ‘class work’ on policy in the ‘long unenacted’. Through an analysis of archival records regarding school meals and emergency feeding it is shown that ‘subterranean class strategies’ - the devaluation of school catering expertise by the army and the private sector, the lack of co-operation of independent schools, and localisation and privatisation - diminished the role of schools in emergency feeding. The paper concludes by considering how the concept of ‘subterranean class strategies’ could inform work on educational think tanks, privatisation and subsumption, and intersectional areas such as race.
