's or just s?

I am making a sign for the door of the Headteacher at a school in
London. I have had varying opinions on this can anyone help me out. Is
it Headteachers Office or Headteacher's Office?

Headteacher's , because it 'belongs' to the (one) headteacher. You're not talking about more than one headteacher. That would be headteachers .

Hi,

#2. There is only one Headteacher, and this is his/her office.

Have you considered just saying, on your sign, Headteacher
