What are the qualities that truly great school leaders possess and how do they use them to make their schools successful? For this book, Jeremy Sutcliffe has interviewed some of the UK's leading head teachers and principals and discusses with them the secrets behind their success.
It takes an in-depth look at eight key qualities that these inspirational leaders value most and explains how they have used them to make their schools truly outstanding. This is not a book about government-led initiatives, top-down models or politically-motivated attempts to change the way schools are managed.
Instead, it focuses on the vital leadership ingredients that successful heads say work for them and looks at the impact they have had on their schools. This is a book for practitioners of the real art and craft of headship, based on the knowledge and wisdom of some of the best practitioners in our schools today. It offers essential insights and advice and will be a source of inspiration to all school leaders and anyone thinking about moving into headship.
