Welcome to AHDS IMPORTANT! Transition Conference venue change. This event will now be held at the Radisson Hotel, Royal Mile, Edinburgh. Back to school! to say that there will be significant challenges to be faced by schools in the coming year - tight budgets, ACfE hotting up, GLOW coming on line in more and more local authorities, tight budgets (did I mention that already?) On top of this the year is starting with disruption through industrial action - advice has been sent to members and is available in the latest news section to the left of this page. Schools will manage with less funding than in recent years but there will be hard decisions to be made - there is no question, a reduction in funding will make most aspects of your job more difficult. Schools will need to have a long look at all that they do and in many cases will have to choose things to stop doing to make ends meet. My key message is take control. If budget constraints mean you cannot do everything you would like to in your school then think hard about your priorities, identify things which don't contribute towards those priorities and decide not to do them. Don't try to keep doing everything, plugging the gaps with your own extended efforts, it is not sustainable. AHDS is dedicated to school leaders – we are the only real option if you want your union to properly represent the perspective of heads and deputes from around Scotland. We make sure the voice of school leaders is heard in all education policy debates and continue to press for change to the confusing and iniquitous job-sizing arrangements, for education to be seen as the core of pre-school services and for protected management time for all school leaders.
