Local Governing Bodies
Each school has a Local Governing Body which plays a key role in holding the school to account for the quality of teaching and learning, the experience of pupils, parents and staff, the effectiveness of safeguarding, and informal
links with the local community and businesses. LGBs ensure that school leaders are mindful of the school’s context and work within the overall vision of White Woods Primary Academies Trust.
Focused on developing high-quality learning.
It seems obvious but there is nothing more important in schools than what goes on in the classrooms. As a Trust, we place great emphasis on the leadership of teaching and learning and teacher development.
Keeping
the main thing
the main thing.
Stephen Covey
Bespoke CPD, subject network meetings and cycles of peer enquiry all support the Trust’s approach to teaching and learning. Our work is underpinned by core principles informed by a wide evidence base of proven practice and we are developing a common language which facilitates conversations about teaching and learning across the Trust.
Our Teaching School and English Hub.
We work with a range of partners as
a Trust but also benefit from having a designated Teaching School and English Hub as part of our Trust, Whiston Worry Goose. The school and wider Trust is part of the Learners First Teaching School Alliance providing CPD and ITT. It is
also a licenced provider for the National Professional Qualifications
The English Hub has a particular focus on improving early language and literacy teaching. It shares best practice and teaching techniques through bespoke CPD and support.
We have a number of SLEs, LLEs and Associate Headteachers within the MAT, offering both internal and external support.
