Abstract
Substantially more power has been devolved to schools than ever before and
schools are being held more accountable in variety of ways. It is imperative
that all stakeholders involved in education including School Governing Bodies
and School Management Teams must develop new skills and styles of
working.
This is a case study of a rural primary school in the Toyota Teach Primary
Schools Project (TTPSP). This study examined the extent to which the
School Governing Body and School Management Team members of RSP
understand their roles and responsibilities and the impact it has on the
functioning of the school.
Data was collected over a period of several months through observation,
conversations and interviews. Collected data was analysed continuously
throughout the research process. The responses were grouped into themes
and were then checked to ensure the relevance of the emerging patterns.
First, findings related to the SGB were presented followed by data related to
SMT. This data formed the basis for discussion about the role of SGB and
SMT members in the management of schools.
