Ten Allen Keys of Successful Secondary School Headship

The Ten Allen Keys of Successful Secondary Headship is meant as a useful procedure guide for new and experienced secondary senior leaders to digest before choosing to reject adapt or follow; and a vocational beliefs and principles challenge for those senior leaders to wrestle with before developing into imperatives of their own. It makes the clear distinction between senior managers and senior leaders, is content for those not suited to leadership instead to manage, and it unapologetically asserts that the primary or secondary school Headteacher is the lead professional working in the school, the one person who can make or break the school''s chances of success, and as such, who must have the temperament and capability of a leader.

This book will prove useful to leaders and managers, and to those, including parents, who are interested in workable and productive pathways through the process of school and home-based education.
