- This book’s context is the relentless quest for school improvement over recent decades. The book analyses leadership in five UK schools facing challenging circumstances of socio-economic deprivation and offers an in-depth study of the different approaches to leadership in the schools. Qualitative and quantitative data illustrate the impact of transactional and transformative leadership theories. The study demonstrates that the leadership of headteachers is the most influential factor in determining a school’s success and provides a case study illustrating the impact of strategies, both transactional and transformative, on a school in special measures, which resulted in significant changes at the school.
