Catholic Schools Partnership Teaching School Alliance

The Catholic Schools Partnership Teaching Schools Alliance (CSPTSA) was designated in 2014 and is a respected partnership in Bradford and Keighley, comprising primary and secondary schools including schools of the Blessed Christopher Wharton Catholic Multi-Academy Trust. In our strong alliance, we have 2 teaching schools: St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Bingley and St Cuthbert & The First Martyrs' Catholic Primary School. We also boast a National Support School - Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary Academy.

Building on the innovative work carried out by the partnership over the last 8 years, we work with our partners The Diocese of Leeds, Leeds Trinity University, One Education and Bradford LA to secure high standards, promote high aspirations and, through our achievement and success, enhance life chances for children and young people in Bradford & Keighley.

The following key areas form the basis for the work of the CSPTSA:

Initial Teacher Training (ITT), including Schools Direct; Professional Development (including Leadership Development), School to School Support using Specialist, Local and National Leaders of Education and Research and Development.
