Welcome to School Direct

AIM Alliance Schools is a collaborative, not-for-profit Alliance based in Barnet, North London led by London Academy. We work to improve academic and life outcomes for all pupils attending our member schools through:

• Sharing our knowledge and expertise across the alliance including governance;
• Providing excellent training and mentoring of our teacher trainees, thus helping to build capacity within our member schools in partnership with Middlesex and Hertfordshire Universities;
• Continued professional development for all staff including secondment opportunities; and
• High-quality leadership development through the delivery of NPQ Middle Leaders and Senior Leaders training programmes.

 Why train with us?

AIM Alliance provides a unique training experience in partnership with other member schools within our Alliance. When training and working for our schools you will enjoy:

• An opportunity to continually develop from Teaching Assistant through to Leadership level;
• the benefit of over 20 years of teacher training experience with our experienced Primary and Secondary Mentor leads and your own experienced mentor onsite within your school.
• regular feedback review meetings to place to enhance your practice and be given personal support throughout your time with us.
• the opportunity to really make a difference in our schools supporting and enhancing the academic life of students within our member schools.
• benefit later in your career from secondment opportunities identified through our unique retention interview process within our member schools. This enhances CPD still further by broadening your experience and allowing you to enhance your practice without having to step outside of the Alliance.  
• Have the option to progress then onto NPQ Middle Leader and Senior Leadership qualifications.
