School collaboration: The quiet revolution

The Teaching School Hubs pilots will see schools tackling the challenges they face by working together, but there are already good examples of how this collaborative approach can work in action. Nick Bannister meets the collaborators kickstarting a quiet education revolution

A quiet revolution has been happening in the way schools work together to improve and tackle the challenges they face. The first phase of this approach emerged in 2011, when the National College for School Leadership launched the first Teaching Schools.

It was part of the government’s commitment to a school-led system – a broad policy ambition that led the then education secretary Michael Gove to speak at the time of letting “a thousand flowers bloom”.

There are now almost 800 Teaching School Alliances (TSAs) across the country, each providing school improvement, teacher training and professional development to schools within and outside their alliances.
