Daily Telegraph 'This is a book that needed to be written...Here is a crystal clear account of the ingredients that the authors believe are needed to create great schools, not just from those that many have been merely good but from those that were underperforming or worse.' Times Educational Supplement 'A powerful picture of how schools today are working to improve learning.' Campaign for Learning 'The book all school leaders have been waiting for. Anybody who wants to know how outstanding heads have made the difference will not want to put it down.' David Hart, General Secretary, National Association of Headteachers 'Cyril Taylor and Conor Ryan have provided an invaluable and practical insight into how schools across the country have improved the life chances of thousands of young people.
