Partners and Governance
Strategic Partnership
The Manor Teaching School Hub builds upon some of the established expertise of schools who were part of the previous Teaching School structure in Walsall and Wolverhampton. The Strategic Partners form a Board who hold each other to account with peer challenge and support and ensure robust quality assurance of the TSH offer. Strategic Partners support the continuity of existing relationships in the locality and support the development of new relationships and increased delivery capacity.
The Strategic Partners who play an extensive role in the delivery of professional development programmes are:
Manor Multi Academy Trust
Matrix Multi Academy Trust
St Bartholomew's CE Multi Academy Trust
Albright Education Centre
SSLP
Quality Assurance
We have a system of robust quality assurance processes to monitor and maintain the performance of the hub and the schools and individual leaders deployed by the TSH.
Our selection of Ambition Institute, as our Lead Provider for both NPQ and ECF provision provides an assurance of quality content. Additionally, we work closely with Ambition Institute so that together we quality assure all delivery to ensure facilitated events are aligned to Ambition standards and curriculum sequence, there is consistency in the delivery and assessment processes and that there is integrity of processes and data systems to ensure GDPR compliance.
Haybridge Teaching School Hub are our Challenge Partner, and they provide an independent QA review which is reported to the MTSH Committee, the Strategic Board and the Trust Board. They look at best practice in structures and processes and ensure everything is in place to enable contractual obligations to be met.
Ofsted will ensure that the ITT entitlement is being delivered, guaranteeing all trainee teachers an introduction to the core knowledge, skills and behaviours that sit at the heart of great teaching.
ITT
Appropriate Bodies play a key part in teacher induction. They check that early careers teachers (ECTs) receive their statutory entitlements and are fairly and consistently assessed, they will check whether ECTs are receiving a programme of support and training based on the Early Career Framework.
Appropriate Bodies
The frameworks have been independently reviewed by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to ensure they are based on the best available evidence. Ambition Institute is inspected by Ofsted and together we have a QA framework to ensure all facilitators continue to deliver to high standards.
