Information for School Governors, Headteachers and Support Staff
The numerous and ever-changing demands on schools make the supply of up-to-date and reliable information crucial for those involved in governing or managing them and for those working in them. But finding what you need to know to perform your job well can be frustrating and time-consuming. Our aim is to help you with reliable information and independent advice that is targeted to your needs, is concise and is easy to use.
Two books in particular are very timely for school leaders and governors starting to plan the next school year. Policies takes the heartache and headaches out of drawing up school policies, while Performance Management Revisited helps all involved in performance management – whether as reviewer or person reviewed – with template documents to guide you through the process.
