New and recently appointed headteachers in particular will appreciate the wealth of practical advice in the Primary Headteacher's Pocketbook. From establishing and maintaining credibility with children, parents, staff and governors to ways of motivating and energising staff, the book is full of refreshing ideas and suggestions. It tackles how to demonstrate good leadership and management, suggests approaches to creating efficient and effective management systems, and focuses on improving the quality of teaching and learning. And of course, the good headteacher neither loses sight of staff welfare nor misses an opportunity to increase the school's visibility in the community. Author Bruce Potts, a former primary head with an impressive track record in turning round failing schools, is known for his inspirational and motivational work in the field of leadership and management; there is plenty to inspire and motivate in the Primary Headteacher's Pocketbook.
