Headteacher Level System Leaders: NLEs | LLEs

About our Headteacher System Leaders

There are a range of headteacher-level system leaders that are designated to provide school improvement support to schools. The national programme for National Leaders of Education (NLEs) is well established and there is a national recruitment programme (click HERE for more information).  ​

Local Leaders of Education (LLEs) have made and continue to make a significant contribution to supporting schools since the programme was introduced in 2008. LLEs provide a range of school-to-school support and coaching and mentoring for head teachers. As part of the move towards a school-led system, the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) no longer designates LLEs , and instead have given teaching schools the freedom to recruit and designate school leaders in this role as they already do with specialist leaders of education (SLEs). 

If you are a school interested in becoming a LLE or would like support from one of our headteacher system leaders please contact Martin Smith (Director of Dartmoor TSA) to discuss further:
