Subject Leadership Residentials take place each summer, offering a space for subject leaders from across the country to gain valuable insights from well-regarded speakers.
Explore ways to make a broad and deep study of your subject engaging, rewarding and inspiring for all young people, whatever their ability.
- The Residential consists of:
- An induction to the PTI Subject Leadership Programme
- Talks and presentations from high profile subject experts
- Workshops focused on developing an enriching curriculum
- One-to-one consultation with an experienced head of department
- Access to a national network of like-minded subject leaders
Award of the PTI Mark
The PTI Mark recognises excellent subject provision
Members of the Subject Leadership Programme embark on an action-based research project. The PTI Mark is awarded to recognise progress and commitment. The Mark is achieved by focusing on: coherence and a quality of challenge within the curriculum; extending and enthusing pupils with activities that go beyond the curriculum; development and exploration of teachers' own specialist subject knowledge; and raising the profile of their subject within education.
Attending a Subject Enrichment Residential allows you to join the Subject Leadership Programme

"What we are doing with young people in schools, by teaching them music, is beginning their life-long exploration of music, not creating the finished article. I had been sufficiently enthused at school by the strange alchemy of music to want to learn more. Teachers have a difficult and challenging job and I have enormous admiration for what teachers do. The Prince's Teaching Institute plays an incredibly important role in helping teachers start the engines, so that young people will go on wanting to learn more and in time discover their own musical humility."

“The PTI events are imaginatively conceived, superbly organised, and probably unique in this country. To invite committed teachers to come together and debate with leading experts and practitioners in their subjects - and in such intimate and conducive settings! it's a brilliantly simple way to inject fresh ideas, new ambitions and sheer inspiration into classrooms. I always feel excited when asked to participate.”
