This book examines leadership within schools, focusing on securing success within a challenging social and political environment. It explores the approaches to leadership adopted by four successful secondary school headteachers in a local authority situated in an area of high social deprivation and identifies the impact the headteachers of these schools have on staff, students and community. It analyses the key leadership strategies of these successful school leaders, strategies that can be deployed in all schools, and explores the links between leadership theories and leadership actions. The book goes on to examine how these strategies were actually implemented in a failing school in challenging circumstances and shows how other schools might benefit from such strategies and the insights on which they are basedEducational leadershipGreat BritainOrganization & management of educationEducational leadership371.200941Smith Philip1971-1243960Bell Les1942-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910154700503321Leading schools in challenging circumstances2885383UNINA
