Whether you are a new or an established headteacher you will know that building and maintaining a strong leadership team is paramount. An effective leadership team is at the centre of any successful school and it is clear to everyone in the school when that team is right – but how do you as a leader go about creating a high-performing leadership team?
Gary Wilkie, headteacher of Sheringham Primary Academy and chief executive of the Learning in Harmony Trust in east London, said: "Stop doing some things. Think about those things that are most important to you and concentrate on those things. Your leadership team can only be effective if they have a sense of realistic purpose. You only have so much energy so make sure that it is focused where you really need to make an impact."
