This summary report presents an overview of the findings of a study into school leadership, the Every Child Matters (ECM) agenda and school standards. It provides evidence for a link between ECM and school standards - known as 'the ECM Premium' - and identifies the leadership characteristics that underpin this link.

As the majority of the schools were located in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, the need for close collaboration with statutory and voluntary agencies was of particular significance. The outcomes of the study include a full report, case studies and leadership development materials.
