Our Teaching Schools
Our Teaching Schools
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.
About Teaching Schools
Teaching schools are nationally recognised schools that play a key role in school improvement across the country. Across the Teaching Schools Alliance we have:
- 8 Hackney Primaries, 5 of which are outstanding
- 3 Teaching Schools
- 3 National Support Schools
- 3 National Leaders of Education
- 2 Local Leaders of Education
- 10 Specialist Leaders of Education
The strength of the teaching schools lies in the support and expertise shared by all eight schools. We work in partnership with Hackney Learning Trust, The Institute of Education and the National Maths and Phonics hubs. Our work is coordinated by a teaching schools team dedicated to the delivery of school improvement.
Our schools have a proven track record of providing high quality teacher training and support to other schools, locally and nationally.
We have been recognised for our expertise in:
- co-ordinating and delivering high-quality, school-based initial teacher training (ITT)
- spreading excellent practice by supporting other schools, particularly those that need it the most
- providing professional and leadership development for teachers and leaders
We are proud to be part of the government’s vision for the development of a self-improving school-led system. We work collaboratively to support each other, drive up standards in schools and improve the life chances of children both within our group of schools and beyond.
