A new set of headteachers' standards has been published by the Department for Education (DfE)
The first section of the non-statutory standards outlines the Ethics and Professional Conduct expected of headteachers whilst the second one contains the ten headteachers' standards
The standards can be used by governing bodies to support the recruitment and retention of headteachers, inform their performance management and appraisal and shape their professional development
The DfE advises that, where governing bodies have completed the headteacher performance management process for 2020, or it is currently ongoing, there is no expectation that this should be reviewed to reflect the revised standards. In the transitional year, schools are advised to engage with the 2020 headteachers' standards as part of their development conversations and adopt them at the most appropriate point in the year
From September 2021, a reformed suite of NPQs will be available for teachers and leaders. The three existing NPQs in senior leadership, headship and executive leadership have been reformed whilst the current NPQ in middle leadership has been replaced with three new NPQs:
- supporting the training and development of others
- developing teachers who are subject leads or responsible for improving teaching practice in a subject or phase
- developing teachers who have responsibilities for leading behaviour and culture
