The National College for Teaching and Leadership, part of the Department for Education (DfE), is responsible for initial teacher training (ITT) in England. The agency has two key aims: improving the quality of the workforce and helping schools to help each other to improve. It will work with schools to develop an education system that means teacher and leadership training, continuing professional development (CPD) and school-to-school support are delivered locally by partnerships led by the best headteachers.
