Inspirational Teachers Recognised at LLT Schools
Teachers at Childwall Sports & Science Academy and Deyes High School have achieved SSAT Lead Practitioner Accreditation, recognising their leadership in teaching and learning.
Accredited teachers Mr Jones, Mr Mercer, Mrs Matthews and Mr Martin are all highly experienced practitioners who submitted robust evidence of existing practice, demonstrating how their work has already strengthened classroom practice and school-wide improvement.
Alan McKeegan, Director of Secondary Education at LLT, said: “This accreditation reflects the depth of expertise across our schools. These teachers are already leading improvement. By supporting colleagues and sharing best practice, they are raising the standard of teaching and learning across LLT.”
The accreditation also formalises the leadership role these teachers now play across our schools. They are currently delivering training and support for new participants on the SSAT Lead Practitioner programme.
Mr Jones recently led a session on how to use IRIS to record lessons, helping colleagues identify their own goals, and take increasing control of their own learning. This is part of LP Standard 8, which requires practitioners to create a sustainable coaching model.
Mr Jones, Maths Lead Practitioner and teacher at Childwall Sports & Science Academy reflected: “It’s been a privilege to engage with national networks, exploring and applying research in different settings, both within and outside of the trust. The accreditation process has allowed me to become a more outward facing practitioner and contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning across the trust.”
Mrs Matthews, Science Lead Practitioner and teacher at Deyes High School added: “Being recognised as a Lead Practitioner reinforces the value of collaboration and shared expertise, particularly through supporting colleagues to develop their practice.”
LLT is proud to celebrate these teachers, whose commitment to excellence is strengthening teaching across the Trust and improving outcomes for students.
