<strong>The</strong>re was no association between school governance (e.g. foundation, voluntary<br />

aided), school type (grammar, secondary modern, comprehensive) <strong>and</strong> IWB intensity<br />

ratio in this set of survey data. <strong>The</strong> only clear relationship between the IWB intensity<br />

measure <strong>and</strong> a school-level characteristic was that of school size. Figure 8 shows<br />

that the larger schools often have a higher intensity measure: this means that in<br />

larger schools, pupils may actually have less lesson time in a classroom with an IWB<br />

than in smaller secondary schools.<br />
