    Abstract

    This article builds on and develops research reported in Ireland's Education Yearbook 2023 on the work of deputy principals in Irish primary and post-primary schools. We present on themes developed from analysis of 120 survey responses and subsequent interviews with 10 deputy principals, focusing on three issues: tasks and time; communications and relationships; tensions and stresses.
