Using findings from an ESRC-funded research project involving five primary schools, this is an inside account of how primary schools work together to develop the curriculum in their schools.

To effect the study and provide the inside story, each author worked as a part-time teacher in the five schools. It is aimed at headteachers, teachers on advanced courses, LEA advisers and inspectors, PGCE/FE/HE lecturers in primary education, MA/MEd lecturers and students.
