When is a headteacher not a headteacher?
Easy – it is when they are a headmaster, headmistress, principal, head of school, executive headteacher, executive principal, or CEO.
Depending on the school (or Trust), these job titles are used to describe what I always like to call the headteacher.
Head-teacher, it does what it says on the tin. The head of teaching, the person in charge of a school and the individual who Michael Fullan would call the lead learner in an organisation.
The role of the head has changed significantly over the past 10 years, particularly since the world of academisation has transformed the way in which our schools are structured.
