Noctua Teaching School Alliance

We’re very happy to be a founder member of Noctua Teaching School Alliance.

Teaching schools are outstanding schools that work with others to provide high-quality training and development to new and experienced school staff. They are part of the government’s plan to give schools a central role in raising standards by developing a self-improving and sustainable school-led system. By March 2016, the National College for Teaching and Leadership‘s goal is to have a network of 600 teaching schools making significant improvements in the quality of teaching, leadership and pupil attainment.

Teaching school alliances are led by a teaching school and include schools that are benefiting from support, as well as strategic partners who lead some aspects of training and development.

Formed in 2013-14, our alliance five strategic partners:

• Tranmere Park Primary School – the lead strategic partner
• Bramhope Primary School
• Moortown Primary School
• Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School
• Carr Manor Primary School

Our partners include other schools, Leeds local authority and Educate Teacher Training. We work closely with other alliances to share knowledge and resources as a teaching school network.

Work we are currently involved in includes initial teacher training, new headteacher support and support for other schools.
