Planning is a statutory requirement for schools under Section 21 of the Education Act 1998. Every school is required to have a school plan and the boards of management are given responsibility for ensuring that the plan is prepared, reviewed and regularly updated. A school plan deals with the curriculum and with the organisation of all the school's resources, including staff, space, facilities, equipment, time and finance. It also includes the school's policies on a range of administrative and organisational issues and, where appropriate, the school's strategies for implementing official guidelines and regulations. Information about school development planning in primary schools is available from the Primary Professional Development Service - see 'Where to apply' below.
