Sheringham Nursery School and Children’s Centre in Newham, East London, which was granted National Teaching School (NTS) status earlier this year, is credited by the National College for Teaching & Leadership as having an ‘outstanding track record of raising standards through supporting other schools’.
The nursery school’s head teacher and National Leader of Education (NLE) Dr Julian Grenier says that it was the opportunity to work more closely with other settings and the benefits that could be gained from sharing practice and learning from others that attracted him to apply for NTS status.
‘The research for my doctorate in education was about working with practitioners who are offering the two-year-old places and supporting them in reflecting on the quality of their provision, so I do have a strong personal commitment to that sort of partnership working with early years practitioners,’ he explains.
