New School Leader: What Now?
Critical Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-915713-42-1 (ISBN)
It is based on the author's own experience as he tells the uplifting and incredibly honest story of his leadership journey as the new headteacher of one of the largest comprehensive schools in the North of England. Neil Renton captivates you with his story, from being appointed in late 2018, leading through a pandemic, and coping with an Ofsted inspection. It examines the kinds of challenges that new leaders face and how they can be overcome, dealing with both one-off events and the every day of school leadership.
The book provides a clear focus on those first moments, months and years of being a new school leader. Its four part structure covers navigating doubt, conquering challenges, the basics of leading every day, and creating the right mindset and culture. It encourages critical reflection based on both serious and humorous stories while offering practical advice and strategies for effective educational leadership.
Neil Renton is the headteacher of a large comprehensive secondary school of over 2100 students in North Yorkshire. An experienced senior leader, he was appointed to headship just before the pandemic.
