The Education Alliance
Welcome
The Education Alliance (or TEAL) is a family of 12 schools in Yorkshire. When we think of our schools, we don’t think of our buildings or grounds; we think of our people. Team TEAL is made up of fantastic young people and brilliant, committed caring staff. We are crystal clear about our purpose and why we work at TEAL:
We are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.
We do this by advancing high-quality inclusive education that values all young people equally, through:
Ensuring all schools in the TEAL family are successful and all our young people thrive.
Developing the next generation of great teachers and leaders.
Connecting with civic leaders and influencing the system so that it becomes fairer and more inclusive, sustainable and ethical.
We will always:
Do what is right
Stand shoulder to shoulder
Focus on quality in everything we do
It is an enormous privilege to lead Team TEAL. Every day I work with fantastic young people and adults. We take our purpose and our work with young people and communities very seriously. What we don’t take as seriously is ourselves!

Sustainable excellence through ethical leadership
We believe that great schools start with a positive culture in which everyone feels valued and a strong sense of belonging. For our adults and children, we know that when we have psychological safety, when we feel trusted and when we have real opportunities to develop, there is no limit on what we can achieve.
As an organisation, we start from an assumption of professional trust and the belief that all our colleagues seek to do a good job. We believe that nobody should feel they need to make a choice between being seen as good at their job or being a good mum, dad, brother, sister, friend or partner and in order to try to ensure healthy work-home balance we have our Workload Charter.
We ask our leaders to set a good example in how they behave and that they try to reduce levels of stress and anxiety in the organisation. We underpin our culture with a Framework for Ethical Behaviours and we work hard to be kind and compassionate. In return, we ask everyone who works as part of Team TEAL to make a professional commitment to continual improvement.
