description British schools are teeming with cultural richness and have long been at the heart of a celebration of heritage.   However, the riots in the north of England in 2001 exposed fractures in community cohesion, a loss of economic opportunity for marginalised groups and a rise in far-right activity.  The London bombings of 2005 revealed deep fault lines across communities and by 2012 the government had implemented the ‘Hostile Environment’ and Immigration Laws of 2014 and 2016 which saw citizens assume the mantle of ‘border enforcer.’ The Windrush scandal of 2017 was an expression of this environment, and coupled with a resurgent nationalism, the UK voted to leave the EU.   Schools, nested within diverse communities across the country, negotiate societal issues and tensions in the quotidian spaces of the school day and head teachers, charged with ensuring the Prevent Duty is enacted and British values promoted, determine the ethos and approach of their respective schools.  Drawing on literature from school leadership, this research engages with head teachers in schools in England to explore the leadership styles they employ when enacting the requirements of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (Home Office, 2015) and the Teachers’ Standards (DfE, 2012) and navigating the civic nationalist turn.
