An initial Philosophy:
• Educational excellence and the development of the child will be at the heart of the work of the alliance.

Thoughts about research
• Priorities on the ground are not those at the centre

• Teaching School links to HE need to be more organic- partnership plus
Some things we could do better
• Serious research through partnership with HE • Strategic deployment of SLEs, LLEs and NLEs• Play a part in achieving coherence within a
changing system (new school structures, emergence of Royal College, changing role of professional associations, new models of accountability)
Things that have gone well
• Responding to what is distinctive and exciting in our local area
• Forming partnerships and networking• Developing our role in ITT• Shifting mind-sets internally and externally• Research does have a higher profile• A renewed focus upon the centrality of
