About Foundations Teaching School Alliance (FTSA)
Foundations Teaching School Alliance supports, trains and shapes the teachers of today and tomorrow in Early Years and Primary education.
It is led by 3 “Outstanding” nursery schools in 3 areas of Hampshire (Alton, Gosport and Winchester) and offers Initial Teaching Training, Professional Learning and School2School/PVI Support.
Initial Teacher Training (ITT):
Our School Direct programme is run in partnership with Winchester University and prepares you to teach creatively and effectively across the whole primary curriculum and early years foundation stage, offering a wide range of teaching experiences in Good and Outstanding; rural and town; infant, junior and all-through primary schools. ITT is offered by the Alton cluster.
Professional Learning:
FTSA offers a variety of professional learning opportunities to develop teaching skills including: Forest School and Nature Education, Leadership Development, Attention Autism, Makaton, Sensory Processing, Motor Skills Difficulties, Handwriting Difficulties and Transition Support among others.
School2School and PVI Support:
We have an excellent track record in this area, and have helped a wide range of schools and PVIs offering consultancy, support and guidance. Our Support Leaders are committed to helping other settings become the very best; building their knowledge, expertise and confidence to achieve improved results for their pupils.
