The Alliance for Learning Teaching School is a partnership of primary/secondary schools, colleges, universities and organisations from across the North-West, who share their knowledge/skills to collaborate and innovate to the best possible outcomes for our children, young people and of course our colleagues.

Altrincham Grammar School for Girls is our lead school and we are proud to be leading the way in innovative approaches to S2S support, professional development for teachers, ground-breaking R&D, cutting-edge initial teacher training through our SCITT and improving the quality of mathematical T&L for our children through our Maths Hub.

As a Teaching School, we are deeply committed to inclusion and increasing awareness of the issues around racial and cultural diversity in education.  Our Race & Diversity Hub works hard to organise staff training to address diversity and anti-racism, to build on anti-racist strategies, to ensure more diversity in the teaching profession through our teacher recruitment and to signpost both teachers and students to useful resources/publications. In order to ensure we are learning from the best partners  we work closely with the Centre for Race, Education and Decoloniality (CRED), which is part of the Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett University which was established to undertake research related to race and racism in education.  Our Director of Teaching School and Partnerships, Lisa Fathers is a Professional Associate of CRED.  We are in a Women in Leadership Hub and are also a designated DFE RSHE Train the Trainer Hub with a deep commitment to social justice.

We are a lead teaching school for mental health and have led a number of regional projects. Read more about the impact of our work.

We are partnering with Diverse Educators because very simply we share the same values and commitment to ensuring our profession reflects the wonderfully diverse communities we serve. We are also committed to increasing the amount of diverse leaders progressing to middle leadership, senior leadership and headship and increasing this representation at governance and trust level.

Diverse Educators are working in collaboration with the national organisations responsible for school governance to amplify the conversations around diverse representation of school governance, for Governing Bodies and Trust Boards.

Each organisation is aligned with our #DiverseEd vision,  mission and values to ensure we have diverse representation at every level of the school system.

The Black Curriculum is a social enterprise founded in 2019 by young people to address the lack of Black British history in the UK Curriculum. We believe that by delivering arts focused Black history programmes, providing teacher training and campaigning through mobilising young people, we can facilitate social change.

Our programmes are for all young people aged 8-16 and aims to equip young people with a sense of identity, and the tools for a diverse landscape. We are working towards changing the national curriculum and building a sense of identity in every young person in the UK.

As a social enterprise committed to the teaching and support of Black history all year round, our aims include:

1. To provide a sense of belonging and identity to young people across the UK.
2. To teach an accessible educational Black British history curriculum that raises attainment for young people.
3. To improve social cohesion between young people in the UK.

Miss Menopause has been created to fill the void of educational services needed by working women as they reach the menopause.

It’s estimated less than 5% of companies across the UK are educating their workforce about the symptoms that menopause may bring.

So why does it matter?

Since 1971 there has been an ongoing decline in men working full time while the opposite is true of women. The changes to pensionable age brought about in 2010 also mean more women are working for longer than ever before. This trend is set to continue. There are now millions of women having to work through menopause.

Who is affected?

100% of all women will go through the menopause with the average age being 51, however symptoms may begin many years before. Mental health issues can often arise due to menopause as well as a host of other symptoms.

How might this affect me?

Millions of days are being lost to presenteeism, which is driving down productivity. So you won’t find data on this problem as it’s currently hidden. As our workforce ages this is set to increase. Many more women are leaving their positions causing a talent drain, which is a huge cost to any organisation. Ignorance can no longer be an excuse.

Girls on Board is an approach which helps girls, their parents and their teachers to understand the complexities and dynamics of girl friendships. The language, methods and ideas empower girls to solve their own friendship problems and recognises that they are usually the only ones who can. By empowering girls to find their own solutions, parents need worry less, schools can focus more on the curriculum and the girls learn more effectively – because they are happier.

Over 200 schools have adopted this award-winning approach and are now supporting thousands of girls in their friendships.

We are an education consultancy who aim to be at the forefront of research developments in the field of ‘race’ and gender to ensure that young people are taught to be global citizens, understanding the importance of their roles in shaping an equal, and eventually equitable society. Educating for Equality was established with the objective of supporting schools in their journey towards true equality (and equity). School leaders and head teachers in particular, are in the position to change mindsets and build cultures of inclusion and justice. We believe that it is not enough to acknowledge the problem of race and gender inequality, as educators we have a social responsibility to actively embark on a journey of social justice for all.

In order to support schools on this journey, we offer an online School Development Programme as well as bespoke CPD for schools. We can also provide speakers for one-off events or twilight INSETs. Schools have the opportunity to work towards gaining our quality marks for Equality Education: the Allegiance Award, the Champion Award and the Beacon Award. These are research-informed awards and provide an excellent way to celebrate and externally validate your school’s commitment to equality. With Educating for Equality, you will be part of our mission: #changingtheworldoneschoolatatime
