The document is aimed at school leaders, but its simple easy-to-read format and 'top tips' make it highly accessible for all stakeholders. It is equally relevant today as when it was written in 2005. Interestingly though, the words and phrases explained in the 'jargon busting' section have now become part of the everyday language of school leadership.
