Comment Supposedly rector (P1075) wouldn't work. We also have director / manager (P1037) which seems to be used: [1]. --- Jura 15:18, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Generally we avoid string properties for names, better to add the person as an item if they aren't in Wikidata already, and have this as an item-valued property. Unless you have a large dataset you are planning to import with this? In any case your examples should have the subject as well as the value of the property - what are the schools for which these people are the principals?

Weak oppose Use director / manager (P1037) = Qxxxx with qualifier object has role (P3831) = head teacher (Q1056391). Jheald (talk) 20:25, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Atomic Centurion: are you still interest or can you work with the existing properties? --- Jura 14:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too much precise, use P1037 instead. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 12:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]
