With action and reflection points throughout the book, it offers a detailed introduction to:- the role of the English subject leader- implementing strategy and vision- adapting to new educational policy- methods for leading teaching and learning- how and why leaders evaluate and monitor progress- contemporary changes to the curriculum.Rich case studies reveal how schools lead English in practice and provide real-life examples of English subject leaders’ decision-making processes and actions.

This splendid book reverberates with realism, wisdom and practicality. Each chapter supports the English subject leader through current research and evidence, case study examples, and most particularly, invitations to pause and reflect on practice. Guiding these reflections are two key questions: What do good subject leaders think? and What do good subject leaders do? The authors offer plenty of excellent support for practice but, importantly, invite readers to be reflective about how best to develop their role as subject leaders in their own school. There are also lists of extra sources of support – books, organisations and websites. Every English subject leader, no matter how experienced, will benefit from this book which offers unparalleled support for enlightened subject leadership. Eve Bearne, Associate Editor, UKLA
