Our School

RED KITE ALLIANCE

Our school is a member of Red Kite Alliance

rka

We are a long standing member of the Red Kite Alliance, a partnership of secondary, special and primary schools across the Leeds, Harrogate and the North Yorkshire region, who come together to share skills, experience, talent and capacity to help improve the learning, achievement and outcomes for young people across Yorkshire and the Humber.

Members have a shared moral purpose to work together to improve the learning and achievement of all the young people in our schools. We firmly believe that we are ‘stronger together’ and the partnership between staff in membership schools enables all partners to benefit by both contributing to and receiving expertise and support from each other.

This school-led approach brings benefits to all the schools involved and helps our school continue to develop and innovate. Our students benefit from the Alliance’s work as it impacts directly on the quality of teaching they receive. Red Kite Alliance is run by schools for schools to help ensure all our young people have the opportunity to achieve their potential.

In addition to our Red Kite Alliance membership, we also work with Red Kite Teaching Teacher Training and Red Kite Teaching School Hub.

"I believe the training provided by Red Kite has prepared me fully for my ECT year and beyond. I've felt fully supported by everyone at Red Kite throughout my entire training year. The ITT year is not an easy one, but having such consistent and effective training and support has made such a difference."

"I had been a teaching assistant for two years when I decided I was ready to train to be a teacher...My placement schools were excellent, I always felt a part of the team, not just as a student but as a teacher. Advice and support was always readily available, whenever I needed it, from any member of staff. I really enjoyed my teacher training and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about applying to do so."
