The National Standards of Excellence for Headteachers (2014) define high standards which are applicable to all headteacher roles within a self-improving school system.
The context for headteachers changes constantly. In most contexts, a headteacher has led one school, in some settings headteachers are responsible for leading more than one school. Job titles are various – including principal, executive, associate and co- headteacher – as are the governance arrangements to which headteachers are accountable.
