New Teaching Schools for Warwickshire
Following the recent round of applications, we are delighted to receive the news that two Warwickshire schools have been successful in achieving Teaching School status.
There was such a big response to this application round that it has taken some time for the applications to be considered and decisions to be announced.
The two new Teaching Schools are:
The Warwickshire Consortium Teaching School Alliance
Specialism: Early Years and KS1
The Teaching School Alliance (TSA) will provide 15 Initial Teacher Training places through an early years PGCE with Warwick University. Their offer will also include high quality training through their traded service 'Warwickshire early years: bring quality to life' (www.warwickshireearlyyears.co.uk) and they will work directly with schools and PVI sector settings to improve the quality of practice and outcomes for children.
Amanda King, headteacher Bedworth Heath Nursery School and Rachel Gillet, headteacher Kenilworth Nursery School have also been awarded National Leader of Education (NLE) status and both schools are now National Support Schools.
