Reviews

'...this book is timely. As well as an overview of theoretical perspectives, it offers a convincing analysis of leadership capacity; drawing usefully on actual examples, it demonstrates how that capacity can be strengthened and develope. It is challenging, stimulating and refreshingly free of jargon. An excellent introduction to the national college courses, and an optimistic pointer to real improvement. Not a book for the bin.' - Michael Duffy, Times Educational Supplement

'For the student of education and the researcher there are succinct and useful summaries of some of the fundamental debates about school leadership.' - David Wood, Oxford Brookes University (escalate website)
