We are a Teaching School Alliance led by two outstanding schools located in South Tyneside: St. Wilfrid’s RC College and St. Aloysius Infant and Junior School. The Alliance is a true partnership of Secondary and Primary schools and Further and Higher Education Institutions, working together to develop a strong learning culture using a self-improving education system and the sharing of best practice.
“As Headteachers of the two Teaching Schools in the Alliance, we are very excited about the opportunities we can create by working collaboratively through the Alliance and beyond to share expertise and explore new approaches to teaching and learning. By bringing together the strengths of all we have the ability to develop a culture of aspiration and excellence to ensure sustainable improvement and development across all the schools we work with. In doing so, we aim to improve the achievement of all of our students and raise the life chances of young people across the region.”
