Leading-Edge Programme Schools
The Leading Edge Partnership (LEP) programme has been established
to identify, extend and spread innovation and excellence in the
secondary sector so that standards of teaching and learning continue
to improve in schools across the country.
Schools in the LEP programme are at the forefront of the drive
to reform secondary education. Schools working within the programme
will lead the way, helping to transform the face of education in
their local areas.
Schools at the cutting edge of innovation and collaboration will
be selected from amongst the country's best schools to act as a
lever to transform secondary education, to engineer the growth of
collaborative learning communities and federations, and to promote
innovation, research and development to push the boundaries of current
teaching practice.
There are no schools in this categeory at the moment.
Leading Practice Schools
At present these are still called Beacon Schools, though the name will change shortly.
The Beacon Schools programme is designed to build partnerships
between high performing schools across the country and represent
examples of successful practice, with a view to sharing and spreading
that effective practice to other schools to raise overall standards
in pupil attainment.
Beacon schools offer advice on a wide range of areas including
specific curriculum subjects, pupil monitoring, school management,
provision for gifted and talented children, improving parental involvement,
special educational needs and anti bullying strategies.
The following schools have Specialist Schools status.
