The Task …..

“As the College’s work has demonstrated, it is schoolsthemselves and our best school leaders who areideally placed to drive improvement in other

schools.I look to you to continue your work in supporting them.” “ I realise it will take time to establish a fully school

ledsystem… we must not lose sight of our focus ontransforming the quality of education for every pupilthrough effective leadership in every school.”

The Secretary of State in the National College remit letter, March 2011

By what means…….

A key role for the National College is to support, over the next few years, the development of rigorously quality assured infrastructures for school improvement – led by schools for schools:

• Built around local context and what already exists, and to complement LA capacity – not to reinvent wheels;

• That explore the potential for work beyond traditional LA borders or regions;

• To support the development of sustainable and school led models, and therefore a shift in accountability

We are here to help…..

Lead associates will be strategic points of contact for our work with Local Authorities, Department for Education, the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) and other partner organisations within their region.

They will:

• lead a team of associates who will deliver aspects of the College remit, focused on school improvement and leadership development;

• co-ordinate the work of the College with schools, academies to ensure regional coherence;

• work with leaders to help reduce under-performance, close attainment gaps, and develop self-improving systems across primary and secondary schools and academies
