The Education (Head Teachers’ Qualifications) (England) (Revocation) Regulations 2012
These Regulations revoke the Education (Head Teachers’ Qualifications) (England) Regulations 2003 (and amending Regulations). Those Regulations made provision, from 1st April 2004, for first-time head teachers of maintained schools and non-maintained special schools in England to hold the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) or its equivalent in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The Regulations did not apply to persons who had been appointed as head teachers before they came into force. Special provision was also made for persons appointed before 1st April 2009.
