About Teaching Leaders

Teaching Leaders is a ground-breaking initiative specifically designed to measurably raise levels of pupil achievement in challenging schools by developing a cadre of highly motivated, inspirational Middle Leaders – heads of department, heads of year and other whole-school roles. The programme has been developed in partnership with four of the UK’s most forward thinking organisations: Absolute Return for Kids (ARK), the National College (NCSL), Teach First and Future Leaders. The programme takes talented Middle Leaders on a two-year journey where they are provided intensive training and coaching, and are supported in leading challenging improvement initiatives in their school. The programme launched with its first cohort in August 2008 and now has 300 participants and alumni, across 148 schools nationally.
