Leap with faith: Moving successfully from deputy headship to headship
In 2000, after five years as a deputy, I took up my first headship. I had a decade in the job and I loved it.
But my experiences of making that leap stayed with me and prompted me to focus on the process of making that move for my professional doctorate, which I started after leaving headship. My aim was to produce research that could benefit future generations of deputies moving to headship.
