Outstanding School Leadership

Reviews / Votes

As a Headteacher, Principal and latterly CEO of local Hackney secondary schools for over twenty years I have seen and taken inspiration from the success of The Mossbourne Federation. The insights this book provides into the background, principles and leadership approach that have helped shape sustainable school excellence across our system are essential reading for anyone serious about changing the lie chances of disadvantaged young people. -- Mark Emmerson, CEO City of London Academies Trust This is a very readable book, which I found hard to put down (despite the graphs and references to mathematics!). Peter took over the iconic Mossbourne from Sir Michael, which was a hard act to follow for anyone. This book gives a terrific insight into the moral purpose and skill that drove Peter to take Mossbourne to the next level. Peter explains his route into teaching, drawing on his life experiences to exemplify challenges in teaching and giving suggestions as to how to overcome these challenges. I would highly recommend this book to all in education but particularly anyone in leadership and those considering leading a trust. -- Dame Joan McVittie, Education consultant * Dame Joan McVittie, Education consultant * Outstanding School Leadership is a fantastic read. Peter really gets under the skin of how you take a school and make it great. His insightful practical advice and guidance offered through this very sage read are hugely supportive, reassuring and, if applied correctly, can support other leaders to transform their own school settings. A must read! * Sam Strickland, Principal/CEO and Author * A crystal-clear example of what it means to develop an exceptional school and to sustain an outstanding education. * Schools Week *
