Teaching School Alliance
Introduction to the Swaledale and Red Kite Alliances
As part of our vision of inspiring excellence, we are delighted to be an active part of the 'Swaledale Alliance' - a group of over 60 local schools. These are, in turn, part of the wider 'Red Kite Teaching School Hub'. This involves substantial collaborative working in a variety of areas, including staff CPD, in house support, courses, shared resources and joint projects. We also offer Initial Teacher Training opportunities within the Alliance schools.
Our Roles in the Alliance
Mr. Campbell, our Headteacher, is currently CPLD lead and a lead reviewer for the Alliance, and sits on the Strategic Steering Group.
He also mentors new headteachers for the Alliance, and leads the NPQH for Red Kite, training aspiring headteachers.
Mrs. Wiltshire, our Deputy Head works for the alliance as a 'Specialist Leader of Education' - going into other schools to offer them support and advice to help improve their practice.
She also delivers ECT training for new teachers and their mentors.
Mr. Fenn also does some work for the Alliance as a P.E. Curriculum Support Teacher, again, working with other schools to help them develop their sporting provision.
