Heading Towards: a toolkit for school management

---

Here is the book that identifies the ways to develop good practice in school management into exceptionally good practice. The headteacher of a secondary school in northern England has set out the processes by which he worked to evaluate and improve his leadership. The management team, pastoral and departmental heads, teachers and other members of the staff, and the students and governors subsequently followed these processes, developing their own step-by-step models of self-evaluation. Standards of teaching and learning in the school rose significantly as a result. The model developed and used in the school, Towards Excellence, is set out here for other schools to adapt or follow.

In Part 1 John Rowling describes the theoretical background to the model, the conditions required for it to function to full effect, and the framework by which achievement of every member of the school, beginning with the headteacher - can be measured.

Part 2 consists of photocopiable checklists of the key characteristics of the work of the headteacher, and also of Heads of Faculty. For each, the evidence is set down that shows how each key factor can be measured in terms of good, very good and outstanding practice. These clearly defined and accessible measures indicate the incremental factors that lead towards excellence.

The book is for all headteachers and aspiring heads, and for the staff and governors of all schools which are doing a good job and want to do still better.

John R. Rowling is head of Nunthorpe School in Middlesbrough, and has been a headteacher for 17 years. The book is the product of a process on which he now provides training, and has been strongly endorsed by among others, John Dunford, Secretary of the Secondary Heads Association, Helen Du Quesnay, Patrick Scott and Professor Tim Brighouse.
