Uniting 86 Institutions for National Education Reform
When the UK government introduced the landmark T-Level qualifications, the Further Education sector faced a significant implementation challenge amidst change fatigue. ChangeSchool, in partnership with King's College London and the Education and Training Foundation, was commissioned to deliver the T-Level Professional Development programme.
Our mission was to create a "movement for change." We designed a programme that not only developed individual leaders but also fostered unprecedented cross-institutional collaboration. The result was a vibrant community of change leaders across 86 normally competing institutions, working together to ensure the successful national rollout of T-Levels. This achievement was recognised with the 2025 Merit Award for cross-institutional collaboration and the 2025 EFMD Excellence in Practice Silver Award.
As our Managing Director, Viren Lall, noted in EFMD site
"Institutional and sector-wide transformation is never easy. We celebrate a programme that turned challenges into momentum and leadership into legacy. Through cascaded learning, it empowered lasting change and collaboration across institutions."
Collaborating with ChangeSchool allows you to create award-winning programmes that deliver genuine, measurable impact.

Learning That Sticks. Support That Drives Success.
Participant Engagement
All our sessions are active, maintain engagement and avoid fatigue: Our design processes use a mix of eight different types of activities as pedagogical learning components to inform our session-by-session design based on learning outcomes. Across our programmes, learning is structured appropriately to the type of learner and phase of learning to ensure real-world application of what is learned.
Learning Reinforcement
Embedded within our pedagogy, reinforcement occurs naturally as participants delve into experiential learning with provided resources. Through collaborative efforts and guided reflection, our approach encourages discovery-based learning, ensuring concepts are solidified through real-world application in simulations and virtual programmes, supported by mentors and networks.
Coaching and Mentoring
Coaching and mentoring are pivotal components of our learning journey. All coaches and mentors on our roster offer guidance and support tailored to individual needs, fostering growth-mindsets and empowering participants to maximise results. Their approach, grounded in experience and empathy, ensures personalised development and strategic alignment, driving impactful outcomes.
