About the Book

Developing and reviewing policies are key elements in the strategic work of governing bodies. Polices should provide a framework for the smooth functioning of the school, and should help to ensure that it achieves its key aims and objectives according to its shared values. This book provides guidance for headteachers and governors in drawing up policies. It explains the rationale of policies, and how they should be rooted in the school's aims and values. It then deals in detail with all the policies that schools should have, both those determined by law and those that are recommended by the government and other bodies. For each policy it explains what it is that it has to include, its purpose, and where to go for official guidance. This is followed by an example policy, which is intended to guide users in drawing up a version that meets the needs of their own school. With the information in this book heads and governors will be equipped not only to write pertinent and successful statutory policies, but will also be able to master the principles to be followed in drawing up any other policy that they feel their school needs.

Table of Contents:
Introduction; Estalishing the Basis of Your Policies; Drawing up Policies; Statutory and Government Recommended Policies; Dissemination, Monitoring, Evaluation and Review; Contacts; Appendixes; index

Michele Robbins worked for several years as an education officer in Oxfordshire responsible for training and supporting governors, and subsequently wrote the National Training Programme for New Governors on behalf of the DfES. Martin Baxter is a senior adviser in the London Borough of Hillingdon.

Review :
"treads a careful and clever line between providing an off-the-shelf policy portfolio and guiding governing bodies towards their own throught-through policies to fit their schools ... essential reading among governors and heads. This is one of those review copies I shall not be passing on to anyone!" - Governors' News
