The Lead Practitioner Programme is aimed at the very best teachers in our Trust and those with a natural curiosity of what constitutes high performance in the classroom. Typically, this role is well suited to a teacher who’s classroom practice is exceptional. A Lead Practitioner is both quality assured and selected by the Trust. They form a crucial part of our school improvement strategy whereby members of the Executive team are able to signpost school leaders to these practitioners to demonstrate classroom practice at the highest level and offer support to teachers in areas such as AFL, curriculum planning and modelling.
