About Us

Exeter Consortium Schools' Alliance is a growing group of schools based in Exeter and the surrounding areas, striving to improve the quality of learning for our pupils.
Working in partnership, we train the next generation of teachers and provide a comprehensive programme of professional development aimed at improving the quality of teaching and learning.
We provide challenge and support to each other to improve our schools and organise supply teachers and teaching assistants through Exeter Supply Partnership.
South West Institute for Teaching is a partnership of former Teaching Schools Alliances that are passionate about the self-improving, school-led system. Each of the organisations are committed to ensuring that we provide outstanding services that make real, lasting, differences to schools and their wider communities.
We believe that every school should have access to the training, support and resources they need to achieve their ambitions, regardless of area they serve or the stage of their improvement journey. And we also believe this should be affordable, with as much money as possible being kept in the school system.
