Moorside Primary School

Moorside Teaching School Alliance are an alliance of ten schools focussed on making sure that each pupil flourishes and reaches their full potential.
It is this ethos that has been a driving force in Moorside Community Primary School becoming the lead school in the Salford Alliance of Learning Schools. An alliance consisting of 10 diverse local schools, united by the desire to help create the next generation of Outstanding Teachers.
The alliance schools are dedicated to offering unique and exciting opportunities for ambitious future teachers to access ‘on the job training’ with support from experienced teachers / mentors.
We believe that our SALS programme offers a different training experience to any other School Direct Programme as it is tailored to enhance trainees to rapidly become knowledgeable and classroom confident.
The training and placements are carried out at our alliance schools, with Moorside Primary School being the lead school of the alliance.
