*Information correct at time of publication

So far, 23 Future Leaders have been appointed as Headteachers and two as Associate Headteachers*.

Our nine Heads who had results in 2011 averaged over six percentage points increase in 5A*-C GCSEs including English and maths; the three that have been in post for at least two years have averaged ten percentage points improvement per year. This level of improvement is comparable with the best-performing Academy chains, who usually have more resource and often appoint principals in their second or third headship.
