The Leading Aspect Award has been designed with, and by, educational practitioners as a means to recognise leading practice that exists in schools, families of schools, Higher and Further Education Institutions, Behaviour Support Services, Foster Care, Secure Accommodation, in fact anywhere where leading practice exists and which may or may not have been recognised.
The DfES is committed to supporting the Leading Aspect Award, as it fits well with the 'Leading Practice' identified in the document the DfES 'Excellence and Enjoyment, A Strategy for Primary Schools'. The Department recognises the need for sharing leading practice and see the Leading Aspect Award as an invaluable tool to promote this strategy.
