In the role of head of year or head of house, perhaps one of the most confusing things I found was wrapping my head around the various different abbreviations and acronyms.

As such, I thought it would be useful to compile the ones that are most common into one PDF.

Please note, these are not exhaustive - they are the most commmon ones in my experience.
