We operate with a moral purpose of support based on an ethical belief that all children should receive a good education irrespective of their background. We work in partnership with a range of schools across Worcestershire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands including Coventry, Sandwell, Dudley and Stoke-on-Trent. Our team of SLEs (Specialist Leaders in Education) are deployed to schools to undertake focused and honed support, working in unison and partnership with the teachers to give expert guidance and direction. In addition, support staff are deployed to deliver specific projects of best practice.

The team of 36 SLEs, 1 NLE (National Leader in Education) and 1 LLE (Local Leader in Education) operate via the St Augustine’s Teaching School and come from the schools of St Augustine’s, Bishop Milner, Cardinal Wiseman, St John Wall and Blue Sky in Coventry. They offer subject support for both core and foundation subjects together with detailed planning and direction in relation to:

• whole school leadership and management
• sixth form review
• pupil premium analysis
• SEND review
• timetabling
• curriculum design
• Sep-19 Ofsted framework preparation
• Governance structuring
• specific NLE deployments

The SLE recruitment process into our Teaching School has now closed for this year. Thank you to all who have applied.
