The education of millions of migrant children in China's burgeoning metropolises has been highlighted by debates around Shanghai's world-leading 2009 and 2012 performance on the PISA.

This study drew from publicly accessible policy papers and interview data with four principals leading migrant children's schools in Shanghai.The purpose of the study is threefold:

	Sketch the current policy context that frames the education of migrant children in Shanghai;
	Explore the work lives of school leaders in the privately owned but government-supported schools;

The study contributes to further understandings about leadership in high-needs school context and abouteducation quality and equity in relation to PISA success in Shanghai.
