Sheffield South East Learning Partnership

Sheffield South East Learning Partnership (SSELP) School Direct is a collaboration of 18 schools situated in South East Sheffield, in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University. The lead school, Tinsley Meadows Primary Academy, is part of Five Rivers TSA.

The schools work collaboratively to enhance ITT provision and to provide outstanding training and career opportunities. Their commitment to developing their teachers of the future ensures that their training is of an exceptionally high standard. Over the past six years one hundred per cent of their students have passed. A significant number of their graduates are now making a difference to their children every day.

SSELP Schools are proud to represent a close geographical catchment of schools which provides a wide variety of contexts including Special schools; a breadth of special educational needs and disabilities; schools with a significantly high percentage of EAL and multicultural diversity; faith schools; a mixed social demographic; all phases of education from nursery to post 16.

Many SSELP schools are recognised as centres of excellent practice, offering school to school support and leading on school improvement projects across Sheffield and beyond. Practice within their schools is firmly embedded in action research which informs and drives the continual professional development of their teams.
