When Raylee asks Cutter to work with the colt again, their worlds collide spectacularly. His humble upbringing as a cowboy is no match to her privileged life on the vineyard, where Raylee has everything at her beck and call, and it doesn't take him long to see that it's not only the colt that needs his help.

The countdown is on to the biggest show on the national cutting horse calendar and professional trainer, Cutter Jones, is ready to defend his title. But the road to success is somewhat rocky. Outside the cutting pen, Cutter is faced with new challenges that test his level of control, so when old wounds are reopened, Cutter needs to cowboy-up and fight for what he believes in while remaining faithful to the code that he lives by. In the second instalment of The Cutter Series, The Cowboy Code, there are more horses, more laughs, a heart-stopping rodeo, a wild storm, and more family drama, all before Cutter leaves for the show in Dallas to compete at the highest level. The Cowboy Code is the warm-hearted, funny, and ever romantic follow up to The Cutter.

Schools will not be able to continue to improve unless they move away from an over-concentration on the short-term and focus on the strategic nature of planning and development. The more targets, the less the effects - what we need is strategy and sustainability. This book links school improvement planning and strategic development for leadership enhancement as well as for management accountability. Short-term planning, in the form of target-setting plans aimed at improving standards, has gained increasing importance. While the book agrees that this is necessary, it puts forward the view that short-term planning is not sufficient for the longer-term development of the school. Sustainability and strategic development are of critical importance and for these the authors believe that a more holistic approach to planning is necessary. To that end, this book links short and longer-term planning in a framework, which supports the strategic development of the school. The authors are national experts in the field and in preparing this text have worked extensively with headteachers, deputy headteachers, governors and those participating in NPQH and masters programmes in educational leadership and management.
