This is a highly successful programme that still remains relevant as the precursor to the Magnificat School Improvement Team. The core purpose was the moral purpose of all children being entitled to a high standard of education, irrespective of their backgrounds or status.
The STA Teaching School Alliance supported and continues to support schools who request interventions from our school improvement toolkit. Specifically, the TSA focused on school-to-school support to allow expertise through system leadership in a range of circumstances. This model was magnified into the Magnificat School Improvement Team which thrives today. The core values remain consistent with our moral purpose.
