Our Schools Programme is a subject-based peer network for subject leaders who wish to to reawaken their love of teaching, strengthen their department and give students a richer subject experience. As a member, you’ll attend a free annual conference and gain access to a network of committed subject leaders.
- The Schools Programme focuses on improvement across four areas:
- Promoting coherence and quality of challenge within the curriculum
- Extending and enthusing pupils beyond the curriculum
- Encouraging teachers to develop, explore and share their own specialist subject knowledge
- Raising the profile of subjects within education
