The teacher in front of your child changes everything

Think back to your own school days.
You probably don’t remember every worksheet, school trip, or every test score.
But you’ll remember your teachers.
The ones who believed in you, and made learning exciting.
Because here’s the truth every parent instinctively knows:
One study found that just one year with a very effective maths teacher can lead to pupils making 40% more progress than if they are taught by an ineffective one.
That’s not a small margin, that’s a different trajectory.
So the real question isn’t just:
Are your child’s teachers good?
It’s also:
How do you know they’ll always be exceptional?

The single biggest factor influencing your child’s success at school is the quality of their teachers.

How Nord Anglia develops outstanding teachers
At Nord Anglia schools, teacher professional development is structured, global, and embedded into school life.
Every school invests locally in its teachers. But being part of a global family brings something powerful: shared expertise and learning across 89 schools in 37 countries worldwide.
Through Nord Anglia University, the international education group’s professional learning platform, nearly 100% of teachers have accessed development this year, with thousands of teachers engaging every month on honing their teaching skills.
But this isn’t abstract theory.
