IPPN’s mailing lists are one of the most informative and immediate supports available to you in your role as school leader, to answer queries encountered on a daily basis. There is no question too great or small that will not be answered by colleagues, who may have dealt with a similar situation in the past. They are closed mailing lists. This means that the content of the emails are intended for the Principal, Deputy Principal – IPPN members.

It provides a mutually supportive forum for IPPN members to ask questions, seek advice and share best practice.

Continuous Professional Development
Each year, IPPN hosts national and regional professional development events for school leaders. These offer an opportunity to hear fresh thinking from national and international figures in education, participate in stimulating workshops and network with colleagues.
Regularly check the Events Calendar on the dashboard for details of meetings, conference, courses or any upcoming CPD events. You will also be notified by email or text of national events such as conferences and one-day seminars.

Local Support Groups have proven to be the most effective form of support available to school leaders. Local Support Group meetings are the only meetings that will actually relieve your workload. You will have nothing to prepare before the meeting, you are not ‘performing’ at the meeting and you will not leave with a ‘To Do’ list. You will, however, leave the meeting feeling genuinely supported.
