Leaders of maintained nurseries offered choice of mandatory qualification

From 31st December, first-time headteachers of maintained nursery schools will be exempt from the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH), provided they hold the National Professional Qualification in integrated Centre Leadership (NPQICL) or are working towards it.

This change in legislation has been introduced to recognise the specific requirements of those working in an early years multi-agency setting.  NPQICL equips managers and headteachers to lead centres that provide integrated care for children, bringing together education, health and social services.

Standards Framework

The DfES guidance National standards for headteachers defines the headteacher’s core purpose and sets out the knowledge and professional qualities needed in six key areas. Having national standards means that all stakeholders can be clear about what the role of headteacher involves, and what to expect from headteachers. The standards can support:

• recruitment - schools will find the standards helpful when devising the job and person specification for the role
• performance management - the standards provide a framework for headteachers and governors for the performance management process
• national qualifications - the national professional qualification for headship (NPQH) uses the standards as the basis for the thresholds within its assessment framework.
