Verify the evidence presented in the application form and provide any relevant additional evidence. Give your assessment of the applicant’s achievements and the impact of his/her leadership, providing quantified evidence of the positive difference his/her work has had in the organisation and on meeting its goals. State that, in your professional opinion the applicant will be ready to take up a headship as his/her next post. Commit to supporting the applicant through NPQH, providing the necessary funding (if appropriate) and the time to undertake relevant development activities. Your evidence as a sponsor is equally important as it will be assessed alongside the applicant’s evidence. Without adequate supporting evidence from sponsors applicants may be unsuccessful in their application. For your sections, you have a word limit of 200 words As a sponsor, you are asked to verify the evidence provided by the applicant, provide any relevant additional evidence and give your assessment of the applicant’s achievements and the impact of their leadership. Please provide quantified evidence of the positive difference their work has had in the organisation and on meeting its goals where appropriate. If the applicant is providing evidence from another school/organisation they are asked to make arrangements to put you in contact with someone who can verify their evidence to enable you to cover this in your reference. In such circumstances it would be especially helpful if you provide additional evidence of the applicant’s demonstration of the competency in their current setting.
