Ever child deserves to go to an outstanding school
Every school Requires Improvement
Outstanding is only the beginning of the journey

The six major strands of teaching school activity
Collaboration is at the heart of the teaching school model.
We are expected to work with a number of schools and other strategic partners to form a teaching school alliance.
Working together, our alliance will deliver support for other schools in our wider network.
Ultimately, teaching schools are accountable to their peers

Teaching Schools
The power of collective capacity is that it involves ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things – for two reasons. One is that knowledge about effective practice becomes more
widely available and accessible on a daily basis. The second reason is more powerful still – working together
generates commitment. Moral purpose, when it stares you in the face through children and your peers working together to make lives and society better; is palpable, indeed virtually irresistible. The collective motivational well seems bottomless. The speed of effective change increases exponentially…

Collaboration
Collaborative practice is more powerful and more lasting than other forms of accountability, performance management, appraisal or Ofsted as it provides the mechanism for peer accountability and peer learning.
