  3. What is a teaching school? • A teaching school is: • an outstanding school that has a strong track record of collaborative working designated by DfE to play a key role in the leadership of a teaching school alliance. • Given the role of leading the training and professional development of teachers, support staff and headteachers as well as contributing to the raising of standards through school-to-school support. • Teaching schools will: • bring together provision for training and development from initial teacher training (ITT) through to headship under a single school designation.

  4. What is a teaching school alliance? An alliance is: • a group of schools and other partners that commit to working collaboratively, supported by one or more teaching schools. It includes: • all those schools that benefit from the alliance by receiving support, as well as teaching schools and strategic partners that offer support.

  5. Who can join an alliance? • Alliances may be cross phase and cross sector, work across local authorities and may include different types of organisations. • As specialist leaders of education (SLEs)can come from any school, DfE anticipate that over time most schools will be receiving and offering support to an alliance in one form or another.
