· executive leadership
· school-to-school collaboration
· federations
· alliances

The supportive structure of each chapter, with bullet point introduction, case studies, points of reflection, further reading and summaries, guides the reader and supports learning. Drawing on research, the authors identify the key areas for consideration, addressing questions such as:
· Where does leadership reside in collaborating partnerships?
· Who exactly are the leaders?
· What impact does this leadership have on others -staff, parents, governors, learners?
· What kind of leadership development is desirable?

They provide both an invaluable insight and also a practical guide for the school leaders of tomorrow.
