Local Leaders of Education

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) will no longer designate LLEs, instead Teaching Schools now have the freedom to recruit and designate school leaders in this role as we already do with specialist leaders of education (SLEs).
