How to Be a Successful Deputy Head Reviews

'Its relaxed, discursive style ...show[s] how the numerous responsibilities add up to a satisfying - and vital - role in the life of a school.' ~ Kate Williamson, Leadership Focus, Autumn 2006 -- Kate Williamson
'most useful' ~ Pete Henshaw, SecEd, Nov 2006
'If you're looking to make the step up to senior leadership in schools, here is your antidote to the National Professional Qualification for Headship. There's no jargon, no banging on about vision and values, just a down-to-earth, straight-talking guide to the job...In short, this book resonates with searing, astringent pragmatism, a bit like being counselled by a very experienced, seen-it-all-before veteran. It's the kind of guidance every aspiring deputy needs. Strongly recommended.' ~ Geoff Barton, Headteacher, King Edward VI School, Suffolk -- Geoff Barton, Headteacher, King Edward VI School, TES Online * TES *
