National College for Teaching and Leadership

On 1 April 2013, the National College for School Leadership merged with the Teaching Agency to become the National College for Teaching and Leadership.

The agency has two key aims: improving the quality of the workforce and helping schools to help each other to improve. It will work with schools to develop an education system that means teacher and leadership training, continuing professional development (CPD) and school-to-school support are delivered locally by partnerships led by the best headteachers.
