Aspiring Lead Practitioners
Wednesday 22 October 2025
Are you considering Lead Practitioner (LP) accreditation for yourself or a cohort within your school or Trust? This live Q&A session is your chance to speak directly with Andy Williams, LP Programme Lead, and get answers to your questions about the accreditation process in an open, interactive session to explore the programme, and clarify details.
We’ll also explore how LP accreditation supports recruitment and retention, and how it empowers educators to lead sustainable improvements in teaching and learning.
Ambition Institute recently published a report that outlines the importance of professional development: Why do people choose to enter and exit
the teaching profession?
“Professional development, flexible working and additional paid leave emerged as stronger motivators than previously recognised.”
Most LPs on the accreditation journey are concerned with driving improvements in teaching and learning, improvements that should be both sustainable and scalable. It has often been said that the only constant in education is change, so schools need ‘change agents’, those practitioners who take responsibility for an aspect of school improvement, gather the evidence required to gain collective ownership, and implement more effective aspects of teaching and learning within their own context.
What to Expect
- Ask anything about the LP accreditation process, timelines, impact, or how it fits into your school’s development strategy.
- Hear what others are asking and gain insights from across the sector.
Who is it for?
- This briefing is for senior leaders, teachers, and support staff in all phases who are considering the LP accreditation for themselves, for a school cohort or the route to becoming an LPLC.
