A DERBY school has been selected as a National Teaching School.
Liz Coffey, principal of Landau Forte College, said: "Teaching Schools take a leading role in recruiting and training new entrants to the profession, identifying leadership potential and providing support for other schools."
Introduced in 2011, Teaching Schools are rated as "outstanding". They raise standards through supporting other schools, engage in research and development, and ensure that talented school leaders are supported to become successful head teachers.
Other Teaching Schools include Harrington Nursery School and St Martins Special School, Alvaston.
