| Summary |
"Primarily about the experience of secondary schools - although full of techniques and case studies relevant to primary schools - this book, through its use of dozens of case studies, above all serves as a manual for school improvement. All those interested in education, including parents, teachers, headteachers, governors, commentators and politicians will draw inspiration from this review of English state schools."--Jacket |
