The DfE identifies that teachers are the foundation of the education system — there are no great schools without great teachers. At the heart of great teaching and great school leadership is a shared, evidence-informed understanding of what works

In developing great teachers, leaders and support staff, L.E.A.D. Teaching School Hub is committed to the 'Golden Thread' of professional development. In this, the Hub and its partners have devised a simple image to demonstrate the opportunities at every career stage.

Welcome to the L.E.A.D. Teaching School Hub! We are dedicated to the professional development of educators across all 363 schools in Lincolnshire.

Discover how we support teachers and leaders through our comprehensive Golden Thread approach, starting from initial teacher training to the early career framework and national professional qualifications.

Initial Teacher Training: Building a strong foundation for future educators.

Early Career Framework: Supporting new teachers in their first two years.

National Professional Qualifications: Advanced training for specialist and leadership roles.

Appropriate Body Services: Ensuring quality and compliance during early teaching years.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our quality assurance processes, supporting approximately 700 early career teachers and 1000 NPQ participants. With a feedback rating of 97% good and 72% excellent, our efforts have been recognised by the Department for Education, leading to our redesignation through to 2028.

Join us as we continue to enhance the professional growth of teachers and leaders, ultimately impacting the achievement of pupils across Lincolnshire.
