Leadership with a Moral Purpose should be read by every newly appointed headteacher and by every experienced headteacher, by every deputy head and by every person doing NPQH. It needs to be read by every class teacher, every classroom assistant and every school governor. The book is disarmingly easy to read, but its messages pack an incredibly powerful punch. It is a deafening clarion call to arms for everyone in the school system who has ever questioned the relevance to children of the curriculum they felt pressured to deliver. For the box tickers and QCAs mindless followers, it will be an uncomfortable read which will leave them diving for cover and hiding behind their well learned excuses, but it will send a breath of inspiration, bravery and encouragement through every class teacher who has ever felt that the needs of children should come first and through every headteacher seeking a better way and a brighter day.
