In the latest Tes International podcast, we chat with Mark Leppard, the headmaster of The British School Al Khubairat in Abu Dhabi, about why he still finds time to teach in the classroom, despite being a school leader, and the benefits he believes this brings to his leadership.
He also explains why the school has created its own leadership programme for students to help augment their learning beyond A levels and how this course has evolved over the years.
Finally, he talks about how heads can avoid the loneliness of leading a school and the importance of maintaining close relationships with other senior staff or leaders across your region or, indeed, the world.
