The highest quality
"I believe the quality of Gateway training is second to none. It's relevant, cost effective and invariably has a direct impact on the day to day teaching and learning back at school. Everything you could wish for when selecting external CPD".
Simon Pearson - Headteacher, Wembrook Primary School
Beneficial and worthwhile
“I have trusted and used Gateway Alliance for a number of years now. I always receive really positive feedback from my staff who attend the quality CPD sessions. What works especially well is the wide range of CPD on offer, ensuring everybody, at whatever position, has access to beneficial and worthwhile training. I would highly recommend them.”
Darren Barrow - Former Headteacher, St John’s Primary School
Inspiring training sessions
“Since the reduction of the role of Local Authorities in delivering professional development, the Gateway Alliance has played a valuable part in providing not only inspiring conferences and training sessions, but also opportunities for school leaders to network. At a time when there has been a risk that schools might lose touch with each other, Gateway has helped strengthen connections and enabled new ones to be forged.”
Sam Pater - Headteacher, Clinton Primary School
Financially viable
“Gateway Alliance provides us with a wide range of CPD that has proved to be manageable, financially viable and gives us access to great development that links us to both national thinking and local networks. The opportunities to join in particular research groups such as the well-being work of the ‘Chimp Paradox’ has been really interesting.”
Carol Brammer – Former Headteacher, Richard Lee Primary School
A strategic and collaborative partner
“Hillmorton Teaching School Alliance are proud to count Gateway Alliance as a strategic and collaborative partner in the delivery of high-quality professional development not only to the primary schools in our alliance but to schools in challenging circumstances, who require school improvement support.
Always responsive to local need and both local and national initiatives, Gateway Alliance offers bespoke and targeted training to raise standards of teaching and learning.”
Catherine Crisp – Executive Headteacher, Hillmorton Primary Teaching School
Trusted CPD provider
“The School Improvement Team at Warwickshire County Council's Education Services are pleased to include Gateway Alliance as a valued partner, alongside all Warwickshire Teaching School Hubs, in the Warwickshire School Improvement Partnership (WSIP). The School Improvement Team seeks to work with organisations with a strong reputation as trusted CPD providers for schools: as part of WSIP Gateway have worked alongside St John's and Hillmorton Teaching School Alliances to develop and administer quality CPD for some of our primary phase System Leaders.”
Margot Brown – Senior School Improvement Adviser, Warwickshire County Council
Quality of facilitation is excellent
"We are really pleased to have established and developed our partnerships with Gateway Alliance. The quality of facilitation across a range of programmes, including the ECF, NPQs and Research School has been excellent - expertly drawing upon a sound knowledge base as well as a wealth of local school leadership experience – understanding the challenges leaders face and how they can sustainably bring about change in their settings."
Nathan Morland - John Taylor Teaching School Hub & Staffordshire Research School Director
Outstanding Quality and Standard
"We are very proud to be working in partnership with the Gateway Alliance in delivering our Primary ECF programme. We have been delighted with the excellent facilitation skills and expertise that Gateway have brought to our Teaching School Hub, not just on the ECF programme but also in delivering some of our NPQ programmes too. Their knowledge of the training needs in our local area has been invaluable and we know that Gateway can be trusted to professionally deliver programmes of an outstanding quality and standard."
