Our Objectives

  • to achieve our primary organisational goal – empowered leaders; inspired leaders

  • to enhance our supports and services – reflecting the needs of todays school leaders

What We Do

The importance of school leadership as an influence on, and key determinant of pupil learning, has been clearly established. The equation is simple – effective school leadership leads to school effectiveness, which in turn leads to better outcomes for children.

It is, therefore, a priority that school leaders should be empowered and supported to deliver that effective leadership in our schools, thereby maintaining their focus on what is most closely aligned with their core purpose – leading teaching and learning.

IPPN aspires to empower school leaders to provide the most effective leadership of their school communities. We do so through the provision of supports and services that enable that empowerment, and through our advocacy for the enhancement of leadership capacity, effectiveness and sustainability. This work is shaped directly by our engagement with our members to ensure that it reflects their needs and perspectives. We also advocate with our fellow Education Partners in the best interests of children, schools and school leaders.

The way in which we work to achieve our stated objectives is underpinned by our values of respect, trust and professionalism, which define us as an organisation

I would strongly recommend the services provided by IPPN to any school leader no matter how experienced or inexperienced they may be. One never knows what issues may arise which need to be dealt with but, with the myriad of supports IPPN offer, it certainly puts you at ease to know that you will not be facing these issues alone.
