ABSTRACT
Question: How will you recognise superheads who are running several schools? Answer:You won’t, because you’ll never see them.
The current notion of having one distant wizard in charge of a cluster of schools sounds terrific.You take five schools currently run by clueless bozos, employ some distinguished genius in red pants, blue tights, big letter ‘S’ on chest, at a trillion pounds a year, and hey presto, results improve overnight, all five soar up the league table, parents ecstatic, every school in the land performs well above the national average, brilliant.
