Leadership 55 is Haringey Education Partnership's popular webinar, where special guests discuss key leadership issues in their field. Hosted by John Tomsett, erstwhile headteacher of Huntington Research School, in its first two seasons the webinar attracted a host of educational experts.

Tomsett's curiosity teases out gems of advice from the likes of Professors Becky Allen & Dylan Wiliam, Alex Quigley and Bennie Kara. To conclude the webinars, the host contributes his own nuggets of wisdom formed during 30 years of leading schools. This book captures both the essence of each special guest interview along with Tomsett's sage reflections. There is indispensable advice on a range of issues, from the complexities of assessment, to coping with the loneliness of leading a school, to exploiting the potential of artificial intelligence. And why call it Leadership 55? Well, the conversations are about leadership and each webinar is exactly 55 minutes long!

John Tomsett taught for 33 years in state schools and was a teaching secondary headteacher for 18 years. He writes a blog called This Much I Know and has written extensively about school leadership. He has published 10 books, including: Love Over Fear: Creating a Culture for Truly Great Teaching; Putting Staff First: A Blueprint for Revitalising our Schools (with Jonny Uttley); Cognitive Apprenticeship in Action (editor); Huh: Curriculum conversations between subject and senior leaders; Primary Huh: Curriculum conversations with subject leaders in primary schools; Primary Huh 2: Primary curriculum leadership conversations; SEND Huh: Curriculum conversations with SEND leaders; and Alternative Provision Huh: Curriculum conversations with AP leaders (all with Mary Myatt). He maintains that the best thing for our students is that our teachers are happy, healthy, well-qualified, highly motivated, hard-working, well-trained experts. Consequently, he believes we should put staff first. www.johntomsett.com X: @johntomsett
