The Art of Standing Out: Transforming Your School to Outstanding ... and Beyond

The Art of Standing Out is the culmination of 18 years' experience as a headteacher for Andrew Morrish, who has a proven and unblemished record for transforming challenging schools - and one that few Headteachers can match. As a founder CEO of a successful MAT, National Leader of Education, speaker and blogger, Andrew shares the journey from special measures to outstanding - and shows readers clearly and simply how it is possible to create a standout school. Drawing on Andrew's time as Head at two schools led from special measures to outstanding (he is currently aiming for a hat-trick, having taken sponsorship just four terms ago), The Art of Standing Out is a unique blend of personal insights and tried-and-tested strategies to help school leaders create schools that are celebrated far beyond simple Ofsted categorisation. Practical, personal and multi-faceted, The Art of Standing Out is a powerful, must-read blueprint for Heads, leadership teams and governors at schools with world-class ambitions.

Andrew Morrish is a former headteacher and founder trust CEO. He has been a National Leader of Education, adviser, chair of governors and trustee. He is director of his own company, Makana Leadership, and provides a range of consulting services to schools and trusts. Andrew coaches and facilitates on the NPQH and NPQEL and is the co-founder of Headrest, a 24/7 free wellbeing support service for headteachers.
