As a National Teaching School, Springwell is at the cutting edge of educational development, involved in national research and development, teacher training, bespoke CPD and school-to-school support. This creates obvious opportunities for professional development and career progression beyond the classroom.

Springwell Special Academy is a state of the art multi-million pound specialist building upon which the Leeds schools will be modelled. The schools are designed around a vision where unconditional positive regard lies at the core of everything we do. Sound, lighting, shape and space all contribute to a pedagogical approach based on nurture principles and immersive learning allowing compelling learning experiences to engage and motivate our pupils. 
Springwell places a huge emphasis on professional development and invests significantly in staff training at all levels.
