Description

'An Accidental Headship' is a warts and all account of a life spent in education, both as a pupil and a leader. From a lively three-year-old with an eye for adventure to a battle weary fifty-plus-year-old looking for new purpose, these memoirs chart the journey through education that Helen never intended to take.

Whether you loved school or loathed it, you will find Helen's memoirs easy to relate to. They will make you shake your head in disbelief but also make you smile - a lot. Spanning five decades, several continents and literally thousands of teens' lives, you will be taken on a journey unlike any you will have read about before.

You will never look at schools in quite the same way again.
