ABSTRACT
The term ‘corporate life of the school’ is often taken as a given and as such remains undefined and only partially understood. Ask a student teacher or perhaps even an experienced teacher ‘What is the corporate life of the school?’ and the answers can be multifarious:
● ‘It’s the ethos of the school’; ● ‘Is it the management?’; ● ‘I think it’s to do with the financial management and leadership of
the school’; ● ‘All the bits of school life that aren’t the curriculum’; and ● ‘Extra-curricular activities?’.
