Praise for the first edition: 'It is one of the most useful books I have come across in the last few years.' - John Cain, Headteacher
'What is very powerful about this book is that ... it does not just articulate a view of planning: it provides examples of planning in action ... It is clear that the authors are the leading advocates of educationally focused and futures orientated planning in the UK. In this totally new version they have produced a focussed and highly accessible book that is a must for every school leader. It will also be of immense value to those on Masters degrees and NCSL courses in Educational Leadership and Management.' - Cheryl Herron, International Journal of Educational Management
