Elmhurst Teaching School Alliance believes that a collaborative school-led system of school improvement is the most effective way to engender high-quality learning outcomes for all pupils. Through our School-to-School Support partnerships, we can work together to improve the quality of teaching, learning and leadership.
School fees for SLE deployments are as follows:
- Whole Day - £450
- Half Day - £250
Please see our SLE Deployment Guidance document for information on deployment, payment and recruitment of new SLEs.
SLE payments will be made to the home school of the particular SLE (e.g. if you deploy Jack Corson, the payment would go to Nelson Primary, rather than to Elmhurst, and would be passed on the finance team at Nelson)
Applications to become an SLE at ETSA are currently closed. If you are interested in applying to be at ETSA Specialist Leader in Education, please check this page for links and deadlines, and express your interest using the Contact page of this site.
We currently are a lead school in the Newham Royal Geographical Society (RGS) Network. Membership is free, and is open to all Newham schools. See our most recent agenda here, and contact Bryony Collins (b.collins@rgs.org) if you wish to join the Geography Network.
In addition to our SLE and NLE deployments, we host occasional conferences for ETSA and other local schools. Most recently on 3rd December 2015, we hosted a Conference on Assessment without Levels, which you can read about here.
Check this page regularly for similar opportunities.
