Stockton Partnership Schools
The Glebe Primary School works very closely with other Primary schools across Stockton.
The aims of the partnership are to:
Improve teaching and learning for all children by drawing upon the combined strengths, resources and expertise of the group of schools.
This has involved work such as:
- An appreciative enquiry visit in each school by senior staff
- Sharing consultant expertise as appropriate.
- Complete moderation activities in EYFS/Year 2/Year 6 in the Spring Term.
- Reviewing pupil progress on a regular basis and evaluate school data
- Staff from the schools have completed a planning scrutiny, work/book scrutiny and lesson observations
- Pupils have visited the other schools and had joint learning activities with specific Science and MAT focus
- Teachers have established cross-schools working parties and formulated joint action plans for school improvement
- There are joint Professional Development Training Days
- Training is also shared across the four schools
The benefits have been:
- Rigorous and robust evaluation of the schools performance with all schools currently judged as good by Ofsted.
- Greater opportunities for staff to share expertise and access CPD leading to more leadership on school improvement
- Improved teaching and learning activities in a cross-school way allowing the children to work with other children in the partnership schools
- High quality training and CPD raising the skills and knowledge of Teachers and Teaching Assistants working in the schools
- Good opportunities for Governors to work together across schools
