It has been announced that the NPQH is being overhauled. My understanding is that, from spring next year, the qualification is no longer statutory for headteachers. Instead it will become optional and will become almost like a status symbol where only, "The most talented candidates will get through."
This leaves things up in the air a bit for me. I'm giving my career plan a lot of thought at the moment. I really want to become a headteacher and I feel like I am ready to start exploring the next steps in the process. But do I need the NPQH? Am I automatically going to put on the 'no' pile because I haven't got it? Is anyone out there able to offer any guidance on this? I'd be very grateful!
