This book considers the developing nature of school leadership and
the impact of new roles for headteachers inside and outside school
and system leadership. School leadership is undergoing significant
change as headteachers respond to new opportunities and challenges
offered to or imposed on them as a result of government policy.
There have been increasing calls for transformational change to
redesign the school system to provide a suitable workforce for the
knowledge economy and to manage the anticipated shortage of future
school leaders. Sue Robinson combines her professional experience
as a practising primary headteacher and National Leader of
Education with recent research into the impact of government policy
on the roles of primary heads to offer an analysis of the shifting
nature of school leadership. Headteachers have taken advantage of
roles available including consultancy, leadership of academies and
federations and children's centres. Including interview material
with 27 'outstanding' primary headteachers, this is the first book
combining research and practitioner insight to show how: heads have
managed the educational agenda; how they have built capacity in
school to sustain their new internal and external roles; their
motivations, insights and experiences; and the implications for
government educational policy and leadership development.
