The Primary Headteacher's Handbook (Paperback)

Comprehensive and straightforward, this handbook will help headteachers rise to the many challenges facing them and provide guidance on approaches to effectively manage today's busy primary school. Primary headship is undeniably challenging, but can be tremendously rewarding too. Being head means constant scrutiny and being looked to by pupils, staff, governors and parents for skilful leadership and management. But it also offers the reward of leading the school in its development and success. This inspiring book should help readers to achieve this.;Covering all of the key elements of headship, "The Primary Headteacher's Handbook" shows how to positively approach the day-to-day running of a primary school, and how to create organisational structures in which staff - and ultimately pupils - can be inspired and developed. Key topics covered include: planning for success and a positive school ethos; developing staff, teaching and learning; running the school as an organisation; good leadership; coping with inspection; raising and maintaining standards. Based on the author's wide experience and on the best practices demanded by the DfES and Ofstead, this book should realistically and reassuringly guide all current and aspiring primary heads in developing their skills.
