Leadership isn’t measured by titles. It is defined by the impact we create.
The IPN Impact Honours celebrates exceptional school leaders whose vision, innovation, influence, and commitment are creating meaningful change in education. These are leaders who go beyond leading institutions. They inspire communities, empower teachers, nurture students, champion innovation, and reimagine what is possible in education.

Peer recognition in action
The power of peer recognition
What makes the IPN Impact Honours truly distinctive is its peer-driven approach to recognition. Each year, 100 impactful school leaders are honoured—not through self-nomination, but through recognition by their peers.
Because those who lead alongside you understand the challenges, recognise the contribution, and see the impact behind the achievements.
A peer-nominated honour is more than an award. It is a testament to the trust, respect, and influence a leader has earned within the education community.
Leaders who transform education
The Impact Honours recognises leaders who are transforming schools, inspiring educators, embracing innovation, and shaping better futures for students.
