The Griffin Teaching School Alliance

The Griffin Teaching School Alliance represents a group of schools drawn from a wide range of different contexts. Together we are committed to building a networked learning community which supports the development of the education system across our region. If you are interested in joining a Teaching School alliance we welcome schools who are happy to share their expertise with others in a cooperative.

As a Teaching School our offer is broad, from responsibility for CPD for Newly Qualified Teachers on behalf of the LA, to bespoke training for schools around specific issues. We support a team of Specialist Leaders of Education who can be deployed to assist in their defined areas of expertise.
We help to recruit and train graduates into teaching through the School Direct recruitment programme.

Our activities are cross-phase; we support a Primary Partnership group who run development sessions such as lesson observations and training for teaching assistants. This group has developed along the lines of the established Secondary Partnership Plus group which we now administer.
A recent innovation has been our Teaching and Learning Programme, aimed at teachers who want to improve their teaching practice, deliver consistently good lessons and have the capacity and commitment to improve. As part of this course delegates have the opportunity to observe outstanding teachers in action, as well as providing a range of teaching and learning methods to develop the skills and techniques to deliver in school.

Since 2012 we have held a license to deliver National Professional Qualifications for the National College. These courses, at Middle Leader, Senior Leader and Headship levels are helping to secure leadership succession for local schools.

This is only a snapshot – we aim to respond to need as it arises, and are not bound by a portfolio type offer.
