Welcome to our website which we hope will continue to be a great resource for our members.
Please use this website, along with the NAPD App for the most up-to-date guidance and support for school leaders. The Very Useful Guide Section has over 70 documents to support us in our role. If there is an area of support not currently covered, please get in touch with us so we can help!
NAPD supports the professional needs of School Leaders particularly as we are in a constantly changing and increasingly demanding educational landscape. Through these supports, the association strives to look after the health and wellbeing of Principals and Deputy Principals and represent their views at the highest levels.
To see positive leadership conversations trending online shows the power and potential influence of the voice of school leaders. We must use that voice. NAPD gives us that voice. We must harness the conversations started and continue to drive our agenda forward, that is one that supports school leaders across the entire country, across all sectors.
