Abstract: This article contributes to knowledge and understanding about leading schools during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis by reviewing 21 articles published during the immediate period of the pandemic (during 2020–2021). Key findings include the value of leaders supporting and connecting the school community with a view to establishing a more resilient and responsive style of leadership during a period of major crisis. Furthermore, supporting and connecting all members of the school community to address equity through alternate strategies and digital technologies provides opportunities for leaders to build capacity in staff and students to respond to further changes. Implications and recommendations are discussed in the light of these findings.
