Lighthouse Schools Partnership is delighted to announce that we have been granted Institutional Member Status by the Chartered College of Teaching, the professional body for teachers.

Our vision and values include a commitment to recruit, grow, develop and retain the best people to make a positive difference in education.

Why this matters for our teaching staff and pupils

This status underlines our belief that excellent teaching is grounded in ongoing professional growth and evidence-informed practice. Through this partnership:

• Our staff have easy access to high‑quality professional learning, research insights, and national networks.
• We enhance a culture of inquiry, where teachers are encouraged and supported to reflect, question, trial, evaluate, and refine their practice.
• We show our community - students, parents, governors - that we are committed to maintaining rigorous professional standards and continual improvement.

Dr Gary Lewis, Chief Executive of Lighthouse Schools Partnership: “We are incredibly proud to be awarded Institutional Member Status by the Chartered College of Teaching. This recognition reflects the strength of our research-led training offer and our commitment to high-quality professional learning. It affirms our belief that investing in teachers’ development is fundamental to retaining great teachers and for improving outcomes for every pupil across our Trust.”

The Chartered College of Teaching is the professional body for teachers. Their mission is to empower a knowledgeable and respected teaching profession. Institutional Member Status is one way they partner with organisations to support scale, collaboration, and sustained professional development.
