NLE Support

National Leaders of Education (NLE’s) are outstanding headteachers who, together with the staff in their national support school, use their skills and experience to support schools in challenging circumstances. In addition to leading their own schools, NLEs work to increase the leadership capacity of other schools to help raise standards.
The primary function of NLEs is to deliver the school improvement support on behalf of the department of education.

NLEs deliver support to underperforming schools, helping them to identify and address areas in need of improvement, including:

Leadership

Governance

Financial Health

How to contact an NLE

If you think that your school would benefit from the support of an NLE, you should use the school-to-school support directory to find NLEs in your area. Contact details are available through the directory.
