Headteachers need to have a view on every possible aspect of running a school and be able to justify and articulate a set of values that tie into their vision. This essential text considers every aspect of leading a school, from the technical to the visionary, enabling you to support the best holistic educational outcomes for children.

Written by experienced Headteacher and best-selling author, Andrew Hampton, the book examines school leadership from four angles – how to lead pupils, staff, parents and Governors. Full of practical strategies to help readers respond to the challenges and dilemmas of running a school, the chapters provide valuable insights into key topics such as inspection, behaviour, curriculum, crisis management, safeguarding, budgeting, and parent partnerships. Throughout, there is a focus on building personal and professional resilience and ways to become emotionally robust.

Written for new and aspirant Headteachers across the primary and secondary phases, as well as experienced Heads looking for fresh solutions, How to Run a School will enable you to hone your vision and values and project your leadership with certainty and authenticity.
