The School Leadership Role

The Importance of School Leadership
Student results will not improve without good school leadership. In England, we know from our inspection data that for every 100 schools that have good leadership and management, 93 will have good standards of achievement. For every 100 schools that do not have good leadership and management, only 1 will have good standards of achievement. There is not a single example of a school turning around its performance in the absence of good leadership. It is almost impossible, in England's system at least, to have good results without good leadership and management.
(DCSF, 2008)

There is an emerging international consensus on how to support school leadershipFinding“One of the key revelations over the last ten years is that school leadership is not just an HR issue – it is a strategic issue.”
Singapore
“We are moving from pulling people out of schools to making schools engines for building talent.”
New York
“Our whole purpose is delivering improvement – we’re not interested in leadership development for its own sake.”
Victoria
“Replacing an outstanding principal is the toughest and most frightening experience of your life.”
Ontario
ImplicationLeadership focused on teaching, learning and people is critical to the current and future success of schools
Spot talent early and move leadership development into schools, but avoid recycling low level practice
Ensure leadership development is focussed on school improvement
Support governing bodies to make the right appointments and make the process fit for purpose
