To be a leader in most urban schools - especially those serving youngsters from families facing socio-economic challenge - requires character and a range of qualities including indomitable will and a passion for success that brooks no denial.
Written in 2004, this report describes nine values and behaviours that a leader needs in order to succeed in a challenging urban school environment. It offers a framework for discussion about leadership and school improvement in challenging urban schools. The report also provides a set of criteria for the selection and recruitment of headteachers for urban schools.
