Synopsis:

Governors are a valuable but under-used asset to independent schools. Under the day-to-day pressures of running schools, they are often sidelined, yet are frequently called to account by parents and the media when things go wrong. This volume describes the positive and constructive role which governing bodies can play in the life of their schools. It argues that up-to-date management techniques can be effectively applied to enhance the quality of education and thereby the attractiveness of schools to parents.
