Information for headteachers about NPQH with British Schools in the Middle East

As a headteacher or line manager, you have a vital role to play in encouraging those with leadership potential to pursue headship.

We would encourage you to:

• identify those in your school who – with support – will be ready for headship in 12–18 months (we have resources available to help you identify talented leaders)
• use the performance management process to identify aspiration to headship
• agree what development an aspiring head needs in order to apply for National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) with British Schools in the Middle East
• provide developmental opportunities for potential leaders and trainee heads, so that they can build their skills and experience
