Life as a Teaching School

All Saints Catholic School in Dagenham is a cohort 2 Teaching School. Nigel Gardener discusses how the status has changed school life and explains some of the projects they are now working on

Teaching Schools are schools that take a leading role in the training and professional development of headteachers, teachers and support staff and contribute to the raising of standards through school-to-school support. 

For a school to be recognised as a Teaching School it needs to be considered “outstanding” by Ofsted and achieving the status is no small feat for any school. 

However, when a school is serious about putting in the time, effort and resources required to achieve the status there are many rewards. While achieving the status requires hard work, the end result is incredibly satisfying and hugely beneficial for teachers and students alike.
