In 2014, St Thomas More's Catholic Primary School was awarded Teaching School status with the aim of bringing schools together to help improve children’s learning through shared practice and professional development.
In partnership with a number of local schools, we have established ourselves as
‘Priory Street Teaching School Alliance’.
Initial
Teacher Training
The Alliance offers different routes into teaching in a Primary School. This year we have 13 trainees placed across Essex.
Continuous Professional Development
We will be developing courses over the year to enhance teaching and learning. See below for course details.
School
to School Support
The Alliance provides school to school support as and when required for both member schools as well as those schools outside the Alliance.
Leadership
Development
Professional leadership programmes run by the Alliance enable experienced teachers to develop their leadership skills. We have two SLEs in our school for literacy and assessment, and one in Mayflower Primary School (Harwich).
All the
schools in our Alliance contribute to the work of the Alliance in a
variety of ways.
If you would like to be a part of this dynamic and growing Alliance, contact us at
