Similar to the pattern demonstrated in regards to the mothers’ educational level, as can be seen in Table 8 there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of fathers in each school who had attended university (χ2 (4) = 198.724, p < 0.001). In Grand Hill and

Einstein High 75% of fathers were reported to have attended university compared to only 12% of those at Eagles Academy. Again, the pupils at Eagles Academy were the group most likely to report that they did not know the answer to this question (32%). As was mentioned above, this likely maps on to the discourses amongst family members in the home. In addition to the difference in terms of university attendance, the fathers in the three schools were located in distinctively different occupational categories, as will be presented below.

Table 9 demonstrates a statistically significant difference in terms of the distribution of fathers by NS-SEC in each school (χ2 (14) = 297.452, p < 0.001). Similar to the mothers,

the fathers in Grand Hill were mainly classified under NS-SEC 1 to 2 (88%), with the greatest number located in NS-SEC 1 (70%). The fathers of the Einstein High pupils were also mainly apparent in these top categories (83% in NS-SEC 1 to 2 with 57% in NS-SEC 1). In contrast, the fathers of the Eagles Academy pupils were barely present in these top NS-SEC classifications (8% in NS-SEC 1 to 2). Whilst they appeared more dispersed than any other group in terms of their spread across the scale, they were mainly located in NS- SEC 4-7 (58%). Although there were far fewer fathers ‘not working’ than mothers in all schools, there remained interesting patterns with regards to the distribution of fathers who were out of work by school. In Eagles Academy 30% of the fathers were not working. This is in stark contrast to only 2% of those in Grand Hill and 1% in Einstein High. Another interesting gender contrast to be highlighted is that fathers in all schools were located in higher NS-SEC categories overall compared to mothers. To take a couple of examples 70% of the fathers in Grand Hill were located in NS-SEC 1 compared to 37% of the mothers.

57331 Cases (38%) were coded as 'system missing' and thus excluded from the table. 24 of those relate to a 'don't know'

response, the remainder are either unclassifiable due to a lack of information or an empty box (which would mean a parent not present in the home or an opt-out of answering the question). It is important to note that there appears a much smaller total count for the fathers of Eagles Academy than the other two schools, this may in part reflect that there are more single parent families in that school.

Similarly in Einstein High 57% of the fathers appeared in NS-SEC 1 compared to 27% of the mothers. In Eagles Academy, there are notably more fathers in NS-SEC 4-5 (30%) compared to 4% of the mothers.

Through looking more closely at the SOC2010 codes for the fathers58 we can identify the

specific occupations which the majority of working fathers fell into. The fathers’

occupations in the main were more dispersed than the mothers, nevertheless some clear patterns emerged. The majority of fathers in Grand Hill and Einstein High fell under the category ‘Business, Media and Public Service Professionals’ (29.4% and 17.9%

respectively). None of the fathers at Eagles Academy were classified here. In Einstein high a category following closely behind this, which a substantial portion of fathers fell into (17%), was ‘Science, Research, Engineering and Technology Professionals’. This category included engineers, scientists and information technology (IT) professionals. At Grand Hill Grammar 12% of fathers fell into this category whilst only 1.3% of fathers at Eagles Academy did so. Similar to the mothers, a large proportion of fathers in Grand Hill Grammar fell under ‘Healthcare Professionals’ (16.5%) with 13.9% being ‘Medical Practitioners’. In Einstein High 9.6% of the fathers were ‘Healthcare Professionals’ with 5.7% being ‘Medical Practitioners’. In comparison only 1.3% of fathers at Eagles Academy fell under this classification. It is interesting to note that a larger proportion of the mothers at both Grand Hill and Einstein High were in these occupations than the fathers.

At Eagles Academy the fathers fell under distinctly different occupations. The majority of fathers in one occupational group were located in ‘Skilled Construction and Building Trades’ (19.2%) which included builders, plumbers, plasterers, painter and decorators. A large number were also classified as ‘Skilled Metal, Electronical and Electronic Trades’ (14.1%) which included mechanics and electricians. The second largest group the fathers at Eagles Academy belonged to were ‘Transport and Mobile Machine Drivers and Operatives’ (17.9%) which included 12.8% being some form of lorry or van driver. This is compared to only 2.6% of fathers at Grand Hill and 1.3% at Einstein High. Finally a large proportion of the fathers at Eagles Academy, similar to the mothers, were found under ‘Elementary Administration and Service Occupations’ (14.1%), however within this group they

appeared more under bin men and security guards rather than cleaners. This compared to 0.4% of fathers at Einstein High and none of the fathers at Grand Hill.

It is interesting that the occupational distinctions between the mothers and fathers appear most stark at Eagles Academy. Mothers and fathers at Grand Hill and Einstein High were doctors, lawyers and teachers. At Eagles Academy the mothers appeared as cleaners, carers, school dinner ladies, lollipop ladies and retail workers, the fathers appeared as builders, plumbers, plasterers, electricians, mechanics, drivers, bin men and security guards. My data appears to suggest that occupations are more gender-segregated lower down the

occupational scale. It is interesting to note that even the commonly used titles for these jobs are gendered.
