Welcome to AHDS

AHDS is a modern forward thinking union working for you. We are geared for the twenty-first century, but we have all the background knowledge and experience you would expect from a union that has represented school leaders for over 30 years.

AHDS is dedicated to school leaders – we are the only real option if you want your union to properly represent the perspective of heads, deputes and principal teachers from around Scotland.

With the new session in full swing it is time to turn our attention to the main challenges ahead in the 2009/10 session:

• Increasingly tight budgets
• Full implementation of CfE

The combination of these factors promises to make the coming period particularly testing.  Rather than consider strikes or bury our heads in the sand (although snow would be easier to find at the moment!), as some class teacher unions seem keen to do, AHDS aims to provide school leadership teams with  advice and support to help navigate through these challenges. 

In addition, we are here to make sure the voice of school leaders is heard in all education policy debates.
