Gives insight into spirituality within the school environment and the wide ranging influences it has on the parties involved. This monograph draws on empirical evidence from schools across the world to answer key questions such as: What is the spirit of the school? How does it differ from school ethos?

Dealing with parents is often harder than dealing with pupils, and can cause anxiety and distress amongst teachers. Stern offers practical advice on how to involve parents with school life so as to improve relations and thereby alleviating the stress and reduce the teacher's workload.
