“Partnership to promote excellence in teaching, learning and leadership”

Background

Hodgson Academy and Blackpool Sixth Form in partnership were successfully designated as one of the first 100 Teaching Schools in July 2011 (National College website: http://www.nationalcollege.org.uk). The strategic partners to the Alliance are: Edge Hill University, Hambleton Primary Academy, Highfurlong School, St Mary’s Catholic High School, Westcliffe Primary School and Garstang Community Academy. The partnership will take a national and regional lead in both shaping and delivering the training and professional development of current and future generations of teachers. Hodgson and Blackpool Sixth Form will have responsibility for talent spotting programmes and leadership qualifications. The Teaching Schools programme is designed to bring more high quality graduates to the profession.
