Training Today for Tomorrow’s School Leaders

In an effective school, everybody matters. Pupils, governors, parents, teachers and support staff all contribute to the community of learning. But the person who steers the course and holds everything together is the headteacher.

Schools need headteachers of ability, wisdom and vision. Excellence at the top will raise standards throughout. That’s why the Professional Qualification for Headship in Northern Ireland, PQH (NI), exists: to prepare the next generation of school leaders.

PQH (NI) is based on National Standards that set out the key knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes for the key tasks of headship. PQH (NI) is part of the government’s drive to develop schools that are better in every way. This is what our children deserve and that is what the best headteachers can foster.
