Sacking of school headteachers 'rises by 75%'
At least 163 heads or their deputies were fired in 2009 - 75% more than in 2007, the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) will reveal at its annual conference in London.
Ministers and local authorities are adopting a tougher line on heads who struggle to raise exam results, John Dunford, the association's general secretary, will say, adding that other heads have been told to quit even if exam results have improved, because their schools have turned into academies and sponsors want new leaders.
