Better teachers for London

Research evidence consistently finds that the quality of teaching is a primary driver of educational outcomes.

In addition to developing the school workforce, school leaders play a vital role in setting and mobilising staff around a shared vision for their schools, and in developing the right cultures, practices and systems to improve attainment and progression.

The Mayor of London is working to support excellent teaching and leadership, and to build capacity in London’s education system.
