The Department is interested in hearing from organisations with relevant experience and insight to inform options to achieve the following objectives: - Attracting high potential graduates or career changers who might not have otherwise considered teaching - Delivering a high-quality initial teacher training and leadership development programme - Creating a positive impact on teacher supply and pupil attainment in areas of greatest need across England - Developing a school leadership pipeline at scale Attracting high potential candidates into teaching to help improve pupil attainment in areas of the greatest need is a key element of the Department's "Teacher recruitment and retention strategy (2019) - GOV.UK".
