Raising student achievement through excellent education

The Mayor's Schools for Success Programme is a free professional development programme for London’s teachers.

London has some of the best schools in the country, and it is down to the many excellent teachers, governors and staff who make a difference. 

Schools for Success is a tribute to them but also an opportunity for other schools to learn from the brilliant progress they have made, especially with low-achieving students.

Find out more about the awarded schools

The Mayor has decided to recognise schools that do exceptionally well with low prior attaining pupils. He is encouraging these schools to share the keys to their success with the wider school community, to help improve outcomes for all young Londoners. The aim is to establish a network of excellent London teaching and leadership practice, with a focus on low prior attainment.

Teachers can read about these schools on the website, see them present at events and request to visit them. These offers are open to all London teachers and are free.

Learn what it takes to be a School for Success by checking out the programme’s criteria.
