Originally published in 1989, this is a book about managing a real
primary school - but, unlike most management books, it places the
child at the centre of the exercise. It concentrates on an untidy
reality rather than a system - on a human perspective rather than
one which is manipulative of human reality. The books narrative
structure makes it unique amongst other books in the field.
Sedgwick writes with warmth and perception. His insights into the
relations between the children and their teachers form part of a
collage of material. Many accounts from parents, visitors, teachers
and children are included in his colourful prose, providing other
points of view and changes in narrative gear. Letters, poems,
photographs and drawings complete the collage so that the book
takes on a form which is appropriate to its subject - the
randomness and variety of a school's life. Here Comes the Assembly
Man is always absorbing, at times highly amusing - a rewarding read
for all parents, teachers and educationalists alike.
