Changes in school leadership

Description

New models and new routes into headship. Mike Baker helps clarify the new landscape of school leadership, including hard and soft federations, and the new NPQH.Finding creative ways of addressing the difficulties faced by a shortage of prospective school leaders has become one driver for new models of headship. For example schools can now share heads, from informal arrangements through to formally binding legal federations. The flexibility is encouraging if you're considering leadership, but now prospective heads must also ensure they hold the NPQH - as from April 2009 only NPQH graduates will be able to apply for the top jobs.
