About us
The Scottish College for Educational Leadership (SCEL) supports the leadership professional learning of all educators for the benefit of our young people, schools and communities. Powerful leadership is vital to a school's success. Our innovative, high quality leadership programmes and services help ensure educators have the right learning and development opportunities to make a real difference to the outcomes for children and young people.
We are part of Education Scotland, the national improvement agency for education in Scotland. We are committed to embedding our values of excellence, creativity, integrity and respect in everything we do.
SCEL was originally established in April 2014 following recommendations in Teaching Scotland’s Future and is committed to ensuring the best possible leadership at all levels across Scotland's schools.
