Apply to join our Five Counties Partnership Board

The Five Counties Teaching School Hubs Alliance is a collaboration between many schools, trusts and educational establishments.  We are a DfE funded organisation which supports ECT induction and appropriate body services, the delivery of NPQs and has had a remit with the coordination of ITT and professional development too.

We work with the vast majority of schools and settings across the Five Counties of Somerset, North Somerset, Bristol, South Glos and BANES and with schools further afield than this as well.

Its lead schools are in the Leaf Trust and Cabot Learning Federation.

We have a strong reputation for coordinating and delivering some excellent CPD programmes for teachers and leaders and support many people with their career aspirations, which in turn impacts on the children and young people in our schools.

Our partnership board meets three times a year and supports and challenges our Five Counties team leaders to keep getting better.

Following the sad news of the death of Dave Baker, our incredible chair, we are seeking to refresh our membership in order for us to be even better connected with our stakeholders and schools and to continue to grow, flourish and improve.

Are you a school or trust leader who would like to be considered for a place on our board?  If so, please express an interest here by emailing us at info@fivecountiesalliance.co.uk  and we will be in touch with you.  Expressions of interest should reach us by the 30th September 2025.
