Head teachers 'more vulnerable'
Published:  15 March, 2007

Head teachers are increasingly vulnerable and some lose jobs because their faces do not fit, school leaders have suggested. School and college heads were told vulnerability, responsibility and accountability had all increased.

The Association of School and College Leaders said 76 heads and deputies in the union were forced out last year. Many heads lost their jobs before or after Ofsted visits, it said. Of the 76 who were forced to resign 28 were school heads in the state sector, 26 were deputy or assistant heads in the state sector while 22 were in independent schools or in colleges.
