About HEART Teaching School Alliance
The greatest single determinant of a child’s success in school is the quality of their teachers. Therefore, Sacred HEART of Jesus & St Joseph Teaching School Alliance is dedicated to developing and forming our staff teams, who then in turn enable our students to flourish…
The self-improving school-led system is at the heart of the government’s vision for education in England. Simply put, this means that schools are being empowered to make decisions about how to improve and to work collaboratively to support each other to do so.
Heart TSA, based within Sacred Heart RC Primary School, has established itself as a centre of best practice, developing an evidence based approach to cross-phase innovation, creativity and pedagogy, working with a variety of schools and partners, including the Diocese of Salford, OLP, University of Cumbria, Comino Network, SEERIH, and EducareM to ensure that we live up to aspiration to ‘inspire a generation…’.

The Heart TSA School Direct programme offers those looking to become fully qualified teachers a one year route to achieving accreditation (QTS with PGCE), with a course that pairs the most up to date theoretical training with tailored teaching placements across a network of partner schools, in partnership with the University of Cumbria. On a school led teacher training route, trainees spend the majority of their time in schools, learning on the job, and are taught by tutors and mentors with current and relevant classroom experience. By immersing trainees in schools they are able to gain valuable real-world experience and learn the very best current teaching methods. This in turn allows them to develop into better teachers who can provide more rounded and complete classes for their students. You need to have a degree to start the course but it doesn’t matter how long ago your degree was or what you have done in between.
