WELCOME TO BART’S TRAINING & SUPPORT ALLIANCE
Empowering Professionals To Release Their Potential
Established in 2012, Bart’s Training & Support Alliance (BTSA) has always been committed to improving educational outcomes for children and young people wherever we can. Our mission is to collaborate with other organisations and work with educational professionals to develop the best trained and supported workforce possible.
Our mantra is Releasing Potential. By “Releasing Potential” within our staff, at each stage of their professional careers, we aim to provide an excellent all round education to the children in our care. We believe that we have a moral imperative to continue this work by identifying and equipping teachers and support staff to be excellent practitioners at every stage of their career, through Initial Teacher Training, ongoing and continuous CPD and Leadership Development.
We hope this gives you a flavour of our work and mission. If you have any questions or need more information we’ll be more than happy to help so please get in touch.
Bart’s Training & Support Alliance (BTSA) operates from Belgrave St. Bartholomew’s Academy, the founding school of St. Bart’s Multi-Academy Trust.
Staff at our academies have the opportunity to participate in our full range of training programmes.
The St. Bart’s Multi-Academy Trust is fully supported by BTSA, widely recognised across the West-Midlands Region for its excellent practice in Continuous Professional Development, Initial Teacher Training and School to School Support.
BTSA believe that every individual has the potential to be successful. In our aim of “Releasing Potential” we:
- Work across the West Midlands Region and beyond, centred in and around Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire East.
- Collaborate with over 100 schools and academies.
- Have trained over 2,000 course participants in high quality CPD.
- Have a success record of 100% School Direct trainees rated Good or Outstanding.
- Have 100% School Direct trainees who then successfully secure teaching posts and finish their NQT year.
- Are able to support school improvement through the deployment of highly experienced and qualified staff.
BTSA’s core purpose is to release the potential in pupils and professionals alike.
Children are at the forefront of everything that we do at BTSA. That, and helping staff at all stages to grow and be part of schools which provide an excellent all-round education to our children.
Working in partnership with schools and educational organisations, BTSA is committed to collaborating with others to improve teaching and learning.
In a rapidly changing educational landscape, here at BTSA, we are really clear about what we are doing, and more importantly why.
“Releasing Potential” is our aim and our vision.
