The methods of funding schools have been an issue of debate in England since the introduction of local management of schools in the early 1990s. Since then, delegation of funding to schools has increased. More recently, changes to the system of school funding have fuelled the debate in England about how schools should be financed. This report interrogates the literature for alternative models of educational funding from other countries, as well as examining the literature for their strengths and weaknesses. The report provides a review of existing models of school funding in European and OECD countries and the advantages and disadvantages of each model. The report covers: financial source and flow; division of responsibilities; allocation of funding to schools. The report also includes nine country illustrations which provide examples of the models identified throughout the report. Recommendations arising from the research suggest that there may be much to be learned from examination of other countries' funding models. [Back cover].

A fun and creative way to increase general well-being, improve concentration and self-awareness, and encourage relaxation in children aged 3-11, this book offers a hands-on guide to story massage. Central to the book are step-by-step, illustrated instructions for ten easy-to-learn basic strokes which are given through clothes on the back, head, shoulders and arms. These basic strokes have then been used to create over 25 story massages which vary in length and complexity. The stories range from traditional tales such as 'Humpty Dumpty' to hands-on learning stories such as 'Deep in the Rainforest.' The massages can be carried out by adults in one-to-one or group sessions, or taught to children to practice on each other. An enjoyable and interactive way of sharing the benefits and safe and appropriate use of positive touch with all children, this book will be of interest to parents and carers, bodyworkers, teachers and other school staff, care workers and arts therapists.
