Abstract
Over recent decades there has been a seemingly continuous reform of the UK public sector.
Political intervention continues to have strategic impact on education in particular. Various
approaches have addressed education improvement ranging from tackling failing schools to
building new ones. This paper concerns a merger of three schools brought together onto a
purpose built new site supported by a highly unusual leadership structure enabled though
educational legislation known as ‘federated’ leadership. A case study organization is
explored to determine if federated leadership is something new or a hybrid of existing
leadership theories.
