The Education Alliance is a designated sponsor and multi academy trust and the lead school in the trust, South South Hunsley Hunsley, is a National Support School alongside a designated Teaching School, The School and Sixth Wolds Teaching School Alliance.

Following this work, I was subsequently trained as an Associate Alliance Ofsted Inspector by HMI.

Over the last few years, as a HTB member, I have been committed to supporting an effective school led system based on collective ownership and responsibility and ensuring that the region has the capacity to deliver quality outcomes for all youngsters through a co-ordinated approach. Moving forwards, I think it is crucial that the Teaching School Council and the Regional School Headteacher Boards work together to ensure every school has access to relevant and timely support and have the opportunity to work in partnerships that secure a truly inclusive school-led system.
