‘Every child is entitled to be in a great school’ The ‘Big Three’ Teaching schools have an important role to play in a school-led system and in school improvement going forward. Teaching schools will be centres of excellence, taking on a more focused role that prioritises: • co-ordinating and delivering high quality school-based ITT • providing high quality school-to-school support to spread excellent practice particularly to schools that need it most • providing evidence-based professional and leadership development for teachers and leaders across their network ‘Every child is entitled to be in a great school’

The ‘Big Three’ In addition, teaching schools will: adopt an important role as brokerage ‘hubs’ for other system leaders co-ordinate the supply and activity of national leaders of education (NLEs), national leaders of governance (NLGs) and specialist leaders of education (SLEs) They will be responsible for providing or delivering effective support for schools that need extra help
