The election of a Labour government in 1997 brought with it the expectation that the diminished role of LEAs - and the implication of their eventual demise that had been threatened under the Conservative governments of the Eighties and Nineties - would be reversed and a hierarchical LEA/school structure reestablished. However, with the exception that grant maintained (GM) schools, as such, were abolished, such views were short-lived. In 1998, the School Standards and Framework Act introduced a new framework for the organisation of schools with three categories offering differing levels of self-governance. Additionally, the Act set out a specific role and responsibilities for LEAs as well as requiring the Secretary of State to issue a Code of Practice “containing practical guidance for securing effective relationships between LEAs and schools” (DfEE, 1999, p.2). This Code of Practice made it clear that the LEA role was to be considerably reduced, and that schools were to be given much more autonomy.
