Leading Edge is a national network for high-performing schools who are committed to working in partnership to raise achievement; innovation and sharing successful practice both within and beyond the network. The purpose of Leading Edge is to support high-performing schools in sharing practice and working collaboratively. We believe that when a school is already high- performing, the national network can provide challenge and support from like-minded colleagues that may not be readily available locally.
