| dc.description.abstract | When the headship of Combermere School became vacant in 1946 on the retirement of the Rev. A. E. Armstrong, the Director of Education, Howard Hayden, wrote the West India Committee in London indicating that he was looking for a "man of strong character and personality who can pull together a school ... which has rather got out of hand because the present headmaster is weak and the staff young and inexperienced." This article presents an analysis of the approach used by the succeeding headmaster, Major C. Noott, to "pull the school together" and develop it. Scholars in the field of educational administration have begun to recognize the value of a practice-oriented approach that studies and analyses what head teachers do and how. Due consideration is also being given to the role head teachers play in school effectiveness, and research on effective schools and effective principals as a source of information and practice for school and administrator improvement is now accepted. This study is a contribution to these developments. Against a background from the literature on school effectiveness, the leadership of Noott, generally acclaimed a highly successful head, is assessed | |
