MSA Briefing Session 11th June 2013 – ‘School Direct’ – Hough End Centre – 9.00am to 12.30pm
Following interest from a number of Manchester primary headteachers, the Manchester Schools’ Alliance has arranged a morning briefing with our two universities. The focus of the session is School Direct which is becoming a major way of appointing new staff to teaching positions in our schools. The universities are very keen to work with Manchester schools to ensure a good supply of well qualified trainees. In addition to the universities there will be a presentation from the National College to provide heads with an overview of how School Direct is changing the national approach to teacher training and recruitment.
If you are already in a School Direct partnership your contribution will help develop a Manchester approach that all schools would be able to join.
