The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) (inheritor of the site and functions of the National College for School Leadership (NCSL)) was an executive agency of the Department for Education (a United Kingdom Government Ministry whose responsibilities extended to England only, not Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland). NCTL had two key aims: 1) to improve academic standards by ensuring there was a well qualified and capable force of teachers in sufficient numbers to meet the needs of the school system and 2) to support schools to help them to improve.

NCTL also supported the quality and status of the teaching profession by; ensuring that teachers were prohibited from teaching in cases of serious professional misconduct, overseeing teachers' induction, and awarded Qualified Teacher and Early Years Teacher Status.

In April 2018 the National College for Teaching and Leadership was discontinued, its functions being absorbed by a new Teaching Regulation Agency for the regulation of the teaching profession, and by the Department for Education for other matters.
