School Improvement
Turner Schools benefits from two teams of specialists who focus on secondary and primary school improvement. These teams are led by three highly experienced senior leaders and include experts in the primary sector in SEND, curriculum development and leadership support, whilst the secondary phase team includes specialist lead practitioners in English, mathematics, science and technology, creative arts, vocational subjects and modern foreign languages. Our model for school improvement places subject knowledge and teachers’ expertise at its heart, with all cross-trust leads bringing proven records of success to their roles to support staff in becoming expert teachers.
Turner Expert Teacher Principles
The value we place on curriculum and teaching as a driver for school improvement is supported by a comprehensive CPD programme for all of our teachers which includes bespoke training, subject knowledge development, coaching, and investment in high quality internal and external courses and qualifications.
Our subject networks across schools and phases are also highly effective, using knowledge and experience from across the trust to plan collaboratively, moderate student work, support our teachers and develop our curriculum.
