Mastering Deputy Headship is essential reading for all aspiring and newly-appointed deputy heads. The second edition has been comprehensively revised, to provide you with a practical guide to the leadership and management skills required in this demanding role.

The new edition of this bestseller includes three new chapters, and offers vital guidance on:

  • the first few weeks in post
  • the management of change
  • performance management
  • up-to-date coverage of the NPQH
  • coping with learning, teaching and curriculum responsibilities

As head teachers become ever more deeply buried under bureaucracy, deputy heads have assumed a key role in the day-to-day running of schools. Yet there is little written specifically for or about them. Trevor Kerry has many years of experience as teacher, researcher, trainer and manager. This is a valuable, well-written book on the craft of an important but neglected constituency.’
