NPhA (National Primary Headteachers’ Association) links Primary Headteachers throughout England with the aim of improving Primary Education.

The NPhA was launched at Warwick University in March, 1995. Membership is open to Headteachers of all schools with primary-aged children.

The constitution of the NPhA states that the purpose of the association shall be "to achieve the best possible education for Primary children by ensuring that the needs and entitlements of those children are secured." This The Association seeks to do by representing those needs and entitlements at the very highest levels.

Its members are either individuals or, increasingly, those who belong to a similar group at LEA or regional level.

NPhA is not a Union, and does not seek to take on the roles and responsibilities of the established Unions and Associations. It speaks out on current issues, and has had considerable success in lobbying for a more rational and transparent approach to the funding of education.

NPhA has been described as the 'Primary pupils' union': the pupils deserve better from the education system than the system currently provides.

NPhA News is published five times per year, and contains articles from leading figures in the world of Primary education as well as the views of serving Headteachers.
