This is what our ambition is for @TheNCE_

Firstly, we sought to create the infrastructure to enable schools to make a positive use of their £200m apprenticeship levy contributions.

This has democratised access to high quality leadership dev for schools across the country. https://twitter.com/simonsinek/status/1318980377248223232">https://twitter.com/simonsine...

Currently, we’re focusing on widening participation by extending our range of apprenticeship programmes so that beginning and early career teachers, and non-teaching staff, can engage in professional learning without having to fund it themselves.

We’re also developing collaborations with organisations, groups and associations of educators up and down the country that will challenge and enrich the content and delivery of our programmes.

By the end of this phase of development, summer 2021, we’ll have created a suite of accredited, rigorous and regulated programmes that can be accessed by every school in the country, effectively free of charge.

By that point, we’ll have over 500 alumni and over 2000 on programmes, all delivering meaningful change projects within their schools. That’s when we’ll begin to see the longer term impact of the college.

But this impact won’t be led by us centrally.

We’re determined that the future of the college will be imagined, shaped and led by the profession. By a broad church of theory and practice.

Not by a single ideology. Not by politicians.

Hopefully, by a network of local, national, cooperative and connected professional groups.

Our movement is gaining momentum rapidly.

If you want to be part of the story, or even write a chapter of your own, get in touch, even if it’s just for a chat.

We’re always happy to speak with friendly colleagues.
