What a school principal stamp or seal says

[SCHOOL NAME]
PRINCIPAL
[Name of the principal]
Date: ______________
[Town, and the registration or school code where one is used]

A school principal seal is round and a principal stamp is often rectangular, depending on local convention. A college principal stamp follows the same layout with the institution name changed. The mark is and usually carries the school name around the ring with the office, PRINCIPAL or HEADTEACHER, in the middle. Many education authorities specify the wording, the size, or that the school code must appear, so check with yours. The stamp names an office, so it should only be made and used by the person holding it or on their instruction.

A principal signs a great many things that are not contracts: report cards, permission slips, attendance records, transfer certificates and evaluation forms. A stamp carrying the school name, the title and the date turns a stack of those into something that takes a minute rather than an afternoon, and it looks the same on every one.

Questions

Is a principal stamp official?

It identifies the school and the office rather than carrying force of its own. Where a document has to be certified for an external body, a university or an immigration authority for example, ask that body what it will accept before relying on a stamp.

Should a signature go on the stamp?

Only where the school is comfortable with it. A signature baked into a stamp can be applied by anyone holding the file, which is a governance question rather than a design one. Many schools keep the stamp to the school name and title, and sign separately.

Can it record the date automatically?

Yes. Leave the date field empty and it fills in on the day the stamp is used rather than showing the day it was designed.
