Lead Practitioner Accreditation is a nationally recognised status of excellent practice in education for teachers, support staff and leaders at an individual or cohort level, in any phase. This professional accreditation is targeted to those who act as leaders within their school or Trust.

Lead Practitioner accreditation is a professional learning process that drives whole-school improvements in teaching and learning by building a culture of evidence-informed practice. The course is project-based, so participants can undertake work that is relevant to, and will have a real impact on, their specific setting. Our programme is delivered by our expert facilitators from our Lead Practitioner Learning Centre at Ofsted Outstanding Bristnall Hall Academy. Participants had the opportunity to visit the academy and see the impact of Lead Practitioners in action!
