What are teaching Schools?

Teaching schools are outstanding schools with a strong track record of supporting other schools.

Teaching schools are part of the government’s drive to give schools more freedom and to take increasing responsibility for managing the schools system. As well as offering training and support for their alliance themselves, teaching schools will identify and co-ordinate expertise from their alliance, using the best leaders and teachers to focus on what is known as the big 6:

• Initial Teacher Training
• CPD (Continuous Professional Development)
• School to School Support
• Succession Planning
• Research and Development
• SLEs (Specialist Leaders of Education)
