Welcome to the NRTA

New River Teaching Alliance

Adding Value to Your Professional Development

The New River Teaching Alliance (NRTA), with Alexandra Park School as the lead partner school, was accredited by the Department for Education (DfE) in March 2013. This was in recognition of our outstanding results and strong track record of training our staff. The NRTA continues this commitment across a partnership of North London schools. We deliver a comprehensive and bespoke training experience, from recruiting and developing the next generation of teachers, to training and preparing experienced staff to meet the challenges of school leadership. We are all at different stages in our journey in education. Whatever your stage, the NRTA works to add value to your professional development. We look forward to engaging with you.
