Great leaders at the heart of our system • Teaching School Alliances (TSAs) & Multi- Academy Trusts (MATs) developing training • Reform of National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) • Encourage leaders to work in challenging schools • Excellence in Leadership Fund • Support for under-represented groups

School-led improvement: prevent underperformance move from good to great • Responsibility for ‘SI’ from LAs → school leaders • Coverage of system leaders across the country • Designation of system leaders • Improve incentives and brokerage • School-to-school support funding • Increase sponsors • Achieving Excellence Areas

Tackling underperformance in the system: ‘Achieving Excellence Areas’ Building capacity in areas where educational performance is weak, and there is neither the capacity or infrastructure locally to drive improvement Working with local leaders, the DfE will pilot a targeted approach from September 2016 in up to 10 designated AEA areas
