EDUCATION

Complex urban schools face a unique set of challenges but a simple truth unites them all: every child deserves the opportunity to fulfil their potential, and every teacher deserves good leadership.

Mission Statement

Teaching Leaders aims to drive improvements in pupil achievement in urban schools by developing inspirational middle leaders who lead exceptional teams.

The Programme

Teaching Leaders is an innovative, two-year in-post development programme for middle leaders (such as heads of departments or heads of year) in complex urban schools.

The programme has been developed in a partnership between ARK, the National College for School Leadership (NCSL), Future Leaders and Teach First.

Teaching Leaders aims to measurably raise levels of pupil achievement by developing a cadre of highly motivated and effective middle leaders. This is in recognition of the significance of middle leaders in raising standards and changing the life chances of young people, and the need for specific support and training for teachers moving into these influential positions.
