As part of membership, IAPS Heads become part of a network of fellow Heads located in the same geographical area as their own school, offering peer support, professional development and social events. Above all, Districts offer an opportunity for members to share experience and seek advice and guidance on specific issues of relevance to them.
District meetings are held once a term and provide a two-way flow of information direct to and from the IAPS Board, where issues raised, discussion points and requests for specific support are reported.
