The research design used was descriptive quantitative. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale distributed to 85 teachers of Al Ibrah Primary School. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to describe the relationship between the variables studied. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (62.4%) with the majority aged 29-32 years (24.7%) and had a Bachelor's degree (S1) (63.5%). The principal's transformational leadership style was rated high (total mean 4.21), especially in the aspect of performance evaluation (mean 4.28). Teachers' competencies are also high (total mean 4.17), with good implementation of the professional code of ethics and active participation in school activities.
