In general, headmaster, and especially headmistress, are becoming less frequent and rather old-fashioned. Most schools instead have a head teacher; in more informal contexts and journalism, this person is often called the head. These words are used to describe the position, but not as titles.在英国,不同学校选用不同的名称描述校长一职。一般来说,headmaster越来越少人用且变得相当过时,headmistress更是如此。大多数学校用head teacher;在较非正式的场合及新闻报道中常用head。这些词指的都是职位,不用作称谓。
