Leadership in Education Awards Programme (LEAP)

The Leadership in Education Awards Programme (LEAP) supports you in documenting and evidencing your teaching excellence, and is an opportunity for you to receive a formal, national qualification for your teaching.

The programme is accredited by AdvanceHE (formerly the Higher Education Academy) and can award Associate, Fellowship, Senior and Principal HEA Fellowships.

National Teaching Fellowship Scheme

The purpose of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) is to recognise, reward and celebrate individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession. You may find it particularly useful to look at:

  • the guidance for institutions and teams submitting;
  • the guidance for reviewers, in order to identify key aspects of a high-quality submission;
  • the list of previous winners.

Colleagues wishing to be considered as candidates for the University’s NTFS nominations are advised to get in touch with their teaching lead/mentor/line manager.

Please note that nominations for 2021 are now closed.  Details on 2022 submissions will be added to the AdvanceHE website soon.
