Mastering Deputy Headship

Trevor Kerry is the first Emeritus Professor of the Universityof Lincoln. He was previously Visiting Professor at the International Institute for Education Leadership at the same university. His career has embraced many management posts: headship of department in secondary schools, SENCO in the primary sector, head of site in FE, senior roles in initial teacher education, and senior general adviser/inspector for Norfolk LEA. He now provides services to education as TK Consultancy.

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.’Professor Ted Wragg, University of Exeter
