Bertie Everard
read chemistry at Oxford and joined ICI in 1951 as a research chemist.
He moved from the technical side in mid-career and became the Company Education
and Training Manager, responsible for senior management training. Shortly before
retirement in 1982 he was appointed a visiting professor at
the Polytechnic of Central
London and later a visiting fellow at the University of London Institute of Education,
where he helped to design and run courses in school management. He undertook a
year’s research into the problems of school management, comparing them with those
in industry, and published the results in another book,
Developing Management in Schools.
He was a consultant in the management of change to a project concerned with the
Education Act 1981, and helped to write the training manual,
Decision Making for Special
Educational Needs.
He spent ten years as an external verifier for NVQs in management, training and
development, and sport and recreation (including outdoor education). He was on the
Education Management Development Committee of the British Education Manage-
ment and Administration Society for several years. He now chairs his local YMCA,
which provides early years education for 200 children and is a director of a leading

management in schools through courses at Brighton Polytechnic and Brunel
University, with lectures and workshops for groups of inspectors, headteachers and
