National Standards for Headteachers

The revised National Standards for Headteachers were published in September 2004, following consultation with teachers, headteachers, professional and subject associations, LEAs, higher education institutions and others from both inside and outside education. The Standards set out the professional knowledge, understanding and personal qualities necessary to carry out the role of headship in the 21st century.
