Originally published in 1991. This book examines the early experiences of the first grant-maintained Schools and considers the challenges facing the self-managing school in the 1990s. The book looks at the context of the change of status, what it means to be grant-maintained, and reviews the types of schools that have opted out so far and their reasons for doing so. A section of specially commissioned case studies written by headteachers offers accounts of how each school has coped with the move to grant-maintained status. The book provides a practical and realistic appraisal of grant-maintained schools and their move towards self-management, exploring both the advantages and the disadvantages of opting out of local authority control.

The Little Clock

Ben is an old broken cuckoo clock that has been long forgotten in a box under the stairs. Feeling unloved and unwanted Ben decides to run away. What happens next could be a simple coincidence, but what if it is part of a bigger plan? Bigger than even Ben could imagine. In this first adventure, Ben finds himself in the unlikely possession of Bertha, an elderly, homeless lady. What will she do with the little, broken clock and how could he be of use to her? This is a story of redemption, giving us a gentle nudge, reminding us that there is goodness all around if only we take the time to look. A heart-warming story for children of all ages and a lovely opportunity to teach them about kindness and second chances.
