Elaine, Joy and Chris are members of the Senior Leadership Team at Colne Community School in Essex and they all share an ambition to run their own school one day. Today they've got the chance to see if they have got what it takes to be their school's next headteacher. The panel judging their performance is: Jill Clough, consultant with the National College of Leadership Skills, Rosemary Prince, a schools advisor from Essex County Council and two of the school governors, Sonia Grantham and Roger Carey-Smith. Each candidate must give a five minute presentation, undergo a 20 minute interview and take part in a joint interactive task designed to test their team and leadership skills. The interactive task does not go well for Joy as she makes a mistake which is siezed upon by the other two and thereafter fails to make much contribution. The panel is also concerned that some of Elaine's answers are not as in depth as they could be but appreciate her approachable manner.
