Town End Teaching School
Train . Teach . TogetherSchool to School Support
School to School support is a personalised service which provides support from one school to another in specific areas as requested. This can be one to one support, departmental or theme support, leadership support or whole school support.
The support could be from a short information gathering discussion up to an agreed period of full time support depending upon individual circumstances and need. It is intended that all support is a two way process whereby both schools can learn from each other in order to improve.
For each deployment, the brokering process will involve:
- finding the right SLE, RSL, NLE, NLG(http://www.nlgnorth.co.uk/) or school to undertake the specific support required
- agreeing the objectives, timescales and expected impact
- agreeing the support approach and which colleagues will be involved in the supported school
- agreeing the time commitment required and any financial terms (based upon the level of support required)
