Membership
Joining the alliance and sharing in its work
Who can take part
Membership of the Harrogate & Rural Teaching School Alliance is open to schools and colleagues who want to contribute to and benefit from collaborative professional development. Members come from a range of roles, including classroom teachers, subject leaders, senior leaders and support staff.
What membership involves
Members take part in network meetings, contribute to working groups and have early access to training and research activities. Membership is about exchange: members bring their practice and their questions, and leave with ideas they can apply in their own settings.
Support for school leaders and staff
Leadership development is central to the alliance. Programmes are designed to help colleagues at every level, from newly qualified teachers to experienced headteachers, build the confidence and skills to lead change in their schools.
Working with partners
Members can also draw on the wider services linked to the alliance. The Cirrus Team provide website and support services to schools, government agencies and the commercial sector, and North Yorkshire County Council Schools ICT offers expert advice on information and communications technology in schools.
