Welcome

GSHA is the professional representative body of English Grammar School Headteachers, supported by their Governing and Parent bodies, and driven by regional membership.

Our Purpose is to pursue our professional aims through the many partnerships we maintain within the education system. Leading development where our strengths so determine and supporting development where need and partnership suggest.
Only by playing a full part in the education system of this country can we justify our position of strength and sustain our foundation of excellence.
