He
continues to be an active researcher and is engaged in several live projects,

expertise is in educational leadership, where he has three books: ‘Being an Effective Headteacher’, ‘Doing Research in Education: Theory and
Practice’ and ‘Sustaining the
Comprehensive Ideal’.


My major interest during my time in higher education has generally been in the field of education and in particular in the development of educational leaders.
My main lines of enquiry are Pedagogical Leadership and Leadership in Multi-Academy Trusts. I have a number of peer reviewed publications in these areas.
