The 1988 Education Act requires schools to prepare and present school development plans. While this is not a new activity - good schools will have had school management/development plans anyway - the Education Reform Act has given new impetus to school development planning in all Local Education Authorities and their schools. This book provides senior staff in secondary and primary schools with a coherent step-by-step approach to school management development plans. It presents a practical, step-by-step plan to producing a school based approach to school management development plans.
