How I used Lead Practitioner Accreditation to embed a new English writing structure and RE curriculum
Sarah Scott, KS1 Phase Leader, Fawbert and Barnard’s Primary School
“An important personal outcome has been my newfound belief in myself as both a learner and a leader. The course empowered me to identify priorities, embrace experimentation with new strategies, and step confidently outside the comfort of my team.”

Retrieval practice: A whole school focus
Janina Stromfield, Curriculum Leader of Science, Sackville School
“It’s hard to know when you have truly been successful with a single project in education as there are so many variables involved, but the LP accreditation process gave me confidence that what I was doing was worthy of recognition at a national level, and this made me even more enthusiastic about the work.”
Making the most of SSAT Lead Practitioner Accreditation
“SSAT Lead Practitioner Accreditation has allowed Sunny to become more confident professionally, and have the ability to think ‘bigger’, developing an expansive vision which has gone further then he imagined.”
Through the LP programme, I discovered the invaluable skill of identifying priorities and needs within our school and academy. The programme equipped me with the necessary skills to coach and mentor with confidence…I emerged from the programme as a more assured and effective lead practitioner.
Sarah Scott, Fawbert and Barnard’s, Y2 Teacher, Primary School
I’m thrilled to have received my SSAT Lead Practitioner certificate! Thank you for making the accreditation process straightforward and for the invaluable feedback that guided me throughout my application. As a Lead Practitioner, I’m eager to collaborate with learning and teaching teams to create school-wide initiatives grounded in evidence-based practices.

Lead Practitioner accreditation as a milestone of achievement
Adele Hawksworth, Librarian, King’s Academy Bay House
