Models of leadership

There is an emerging recognition that schools and leaders can benefit from considering flexible arrangements of headship and these will become more common in the future. The Every Child Matters agenda highlights how school leaders will have to work in partnerships to deliver the best outcomes and leadership models can support succession planning, challenge experienced leaders and improve the work-life balance of individuals.

NCSL was charged with 'the development of new models of school leadership' as one its top three priorities in its 2007-08 remit letter. The College launched a Models of Leadership website and the latest research findings about models of leadership in the early summer 2008. It is stimulating a national debate around how school leadership might best adapt to meet the needs of 21st century schools through a facilitated community of interest, delivered in partnership with the Innovation Unit.
