TFL Education’s character through leadership development programmes are a validation of the qualities of character and leadership skills that academic research has identified as being crucial in raising aspiration, promoting achievement and increasing happiness.

The number of schools and organisations in the UK and worldwide which recognise the importance of consistently teaching character through leadership as part of their curriculum provision, together with the professional development of their teachers in this area, continues to increase.

TFL client schools and organisations recognise that their pupils’ and employees’ personal growth, self-management and happiness is equally as important as their academic achievement; indeed, the two are inseparable.

It is for this reason that we created the World Leadership Academy (WLA). Initially, the WLA will consist of a community of like-minded schools whose leaders and pupils share our aspirations.

As the WLA grows we will also be inviting organisations from a number of employment sectors to become members of the WLA. The intention is to develop a forum for pupils, teachers, employees and employers to be able to talk with us and with their peers in other WLA schools and organisations. We want to encourage conversations that can help each of us to continue to grow.

We hope that our efforts and the example of current WLA schools will carry our message to others.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in becoming a member of the WLA.
