Leading Edge

SSAT’s Leading Edge network is the only national network specifically for high-performing schools. It aims to connect and celebrate high performing schools by sharing effective and emerging practice.

SSAT understands the challenges of achieving and sustaining high performance and believes that these challenges are best met with the support of like-minded professionals. As the only national network specifically for high-performing schools, the Leading Edge network connects schools across the country, providing structured collaboration and regular opportunities to learn from each other’s best practice.

A key benefit is the Framework for Exceptional Education which offers a principled approach to school improvement that goes beyond statutory inspection frameworks.
