A successful school is built on relationships, and the most important one of all is, without a doubt, the relationship between the headteacher and the deputy head.
None is as closely linked to a school’s success as theirs – in fact, it is impossible, in my view, to maintain an effective organisation if that relationship is not a positive one.
When it is working well, school improvement is a pleasure. Everyone supports each other, and there is a shared understanding of what things are important and how they are being done. Conversely, a fractured or disconnected relationship between the members of the senior leadership team can result in a collapse of the school improvement process and school culture.
