Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book is the definitive guide to school management for heads and deputy heads.” –Education Today, 2/1/05

“The book, published by Continuum for sale internally, contains practical information about managing budges, drawing up timetables, surviving school inspections, meeting targets and working with governors.” –Oxford Times, Monica Sloan, 21st January 2005

'This book has lots of everyday and very practical and down to earth examples and is written in a light and personal style that will appeal to busy Heads and their teams... the authors have put their personal stamp on the business of running a school successfully and have done so in a chatty and informative style that will give aspiring and practising Head teachers confidence and ideas that they can easily appply to the particular context of their own school. As such, this book has a place in the Head's office, on a low shelf and within easy reach.' Terry Woolley, Executive Director, Department of Education , South Australia

"This book gives a confidence-building introduction to all the bits of the job the NPQH doesn't touch." TES
