Partnership

Passionate about Teaching?

Higham Lane School Partnership comprises 14 partner schools across both primary and secondary phases. We offer both School Direct training and salaried programmes in collaboration with The University of Warwick, a Russell Group University rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted for both primary and secondary phases.

Our Partnership

Higham Lane School is our lead school, a non-selective secondary in the top 5% of schools in the country. We are a close partnership both in terms of location and our approach to the training provision. Our partnership has an experienced team of mentors to support trainees and provide excellent in-school experience in a range of contexts.

All our schools are happy, caring and purposeful environments. Mutual respect and very clear expectations regarding effort, progress and behaviour are key to our success. Students get on exceptionally well with each other and with the staff. Achievement in all forms: artistic, academic, social, cultural, sporting and intellectual are equally valued.

Our partnership is more than just a place to work - it is a thriving community, proud of its past and confident in its future.

Secondary subjects include English, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, computing, geography, history, physical education, modern foreign languages, music, religious education, art and design, design and technology, drama, social sciences and physics with maths.
