About Us

About Us

The Association of Headteachers and Deputes in Scotland (AHDS) was established in 1975. We are here to help, support and represent the interests of school leaders from Scotland's primary, nursery and ASN schools.

Your Development

We strive to share knowledge and good practice from home and abroad. We provide CLPL and networking opportunities that are high quality, relevant and timely.

Policy Development

We speak up for school leaders on issues that matter. We develop and maintain influential partnerships locally, nationally and internationally. We take an evidence based approach to policy development.

Support

We are here to help

Often its helpful to seek advice sooner rather than later and talking to an experienced, impartial expert can help you gain insight into the situation and perhaps a new perspective.
