Our Vision
Teachers change lives and supporting the next generation of teachers to embark on sustained, meaningful and transformational careers in education is at the heart of what we do. We are committed to ensuring that every trainee teacher receives the support and expertise needed to thrive in their training and to secure the best possible start in their career in education.
Our Ethos
Our alliance has a shared ethos of working together and investing in teachers and leaders. We believe that each teacher and leader is unique and has their own talent which can be enhanced through regular professional discussion, high-quality CPD and self-reflection.
Our journey as a Teaching Alliance mirrors that of the professional learning process – self-reflection, professional discussion and evidence of impact underpin everything we do. We continually strive to lead a thriving, self-improving system through collaborative evaluation and re-shaping of our work. This will always be a priority in a continually changing educational environment.
If every teacher and leader feels they have sufficient challenge, support, inspiration and enjoyment in their career, we believe it is possible for every student to enjoy their education, achieve their very best and have a purposeful, happy future as a valuable member of society.
