Welcome to Northern Saints Teaching School Alliance

We are an Alliance of Educational Institutions led by two outstanding schools located in South Tyneside: S. Wilfrid College and S. Aloysius Infant and Junior College. The society is a true association of secondary and primary schools, institutions of additional and higher education, working together to develop a strong learning culture through better education system and the exchange of best practices.

“As the director of two of the classes, the schools of the community, and we are very excited about the possibilities that you can create by working together across the community, and to share experiences and to explore new approaches to teaching and learning. The combination of all the strengths, we have an opportunity to develop a culture of aspiration and excellence-oriented immigration, and all of the schools we work with. In doing so, we aim to improve the achievement of all our students, and to increase the life chances of young people across the country.”
