Abstract

Since the turn of the millennium there has been sustained interest in successful school leadership, beginning as an attempt to expand the focus of effective schools research. This has included research dedicated to exploring the area, and the repositioning of other research to contribute to understanding successful school leadership. This chapter provides a history of the development of the area, and explores findings from key studies and reviews to give a sense of the development and possibilities of the study of successful school leadership. This review consists of two parts. The main body of the chapter reviews nine influential studies/projects, and this is supplemented with a reflective commentary that draws on a variety of research to expand on the areas of effective and successful schools, effective and successful school leadership, sustainability of success, and leadership and context.KeywordsSuccessful school leadershipSuccessful schoolsSchool effectivenessSchool improvement
