Our Partnership Alliance
We offer a bespoke school-based programme, and our close-knit community of partner schools are committed to supporting trainees in achieving the best possible outcomes throughout their training year.
Our schools are conveniently located across central Lancashire in the Northwest and provide a diverse range of teaching and learning experiences. The secondary schools within the Alliance include:
- Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy (the lead teaching school)
- Penwortham Girls’ High School
- Parklands Academy
- Brownedge St. Mary’s Catholic High School
- Lostock Hall Academy
- Balshaw's Church of England High School
- St. Michael’s Church of England High School
Through our Alliance partnership, we can offer a wider variety of school-based placement experiences, tailored to each individual’s personal experiences.
In many respects, the most important people in our schools are the students. Through our high standards, their friendly and welcoming demeanour helps to ensure that each of our schools can provide placements where our trainees will be able to work with happy, confident, well behaved young people, enabling them to focus on developing teaching skills. Staff also fully support this ethos and will help trainees to both 'find your feet' in school and then support their progress in developing their own teaching style. Our Alliance of schools have a wealth of experience and are eager to share their skills and knowledge.
