School Leadership
Effective leadership is commonly recognised as an essential driver for school success.
Yet, leadership is a weakly poorly defined concept and there is much variation on responsibilities that underpin the role
We want to understand the role of school leadership better, with consideration to the crucial ingredients of effective leadership, how leaders shape their priorities, and, crucially, what excellence in leadership actually looks like.
