Leadership
In 2016, The Centre investigated the impact of different types of leaders on performance, beginning with the so-called "superhead" system of executive head teachers. The findings of this study were published by Schools Week[14][15] and The Times.[16] Lead research Alex Hill concluded: "When a school emerges from a period with a superhead, you've lost three years, sometimes longer, and you've spent a load of money you didn't need to. You are now behind where you could have been, both in terms of the impact on students but also on your community."[14]
Eight months later, the Centre wrote 'The One Type of Leader Who Can Turn Around a Failing School'.[17]
