Chief Executive

The collaboration between Torfaen Education Services and schools is underpinned by the dimensions of learning organisation:

• Shared vision: leaders involve the whole community to develop a shared, inclusive, inspiring vision that aims to enhance the learning experiences and outcomes of all learners.

• Continuous learning: develop a ‘learning culture’ with time and resources provided for all staff to engage in professional learning. Staff identify their individual priorities for professional development, which in turn support the goals of the school or setting.

• Learning and collaboration: staff reflect and evaluate practice together. Create opportunities for staff to collaborate and examine practice together.

• Culture of enquiry: the whole community is actively engaged in enquiry with staff encouraged to take risks, experiment and be innovative to support them to extend their practice. Trust and mutual respect are core values which underpin the development of innovation.

• Exchanging knowledge: staff regularly discuss and evaluate whether actions, including professional learning, have had the desired outcomes and they work together, referring to research evidence when appropriate, to improve practice.

• External environment: develop partnerships with parents/carers, other schools, universities, businesses, public organisations, and the community to respond to change and develop mutual learning.

• Learning leadership: leaders model learning leadership and ensure all staff have access to strong collaborative learning opportunities.

These dimensions inform the development of the annual Education Improvement Plan, available here: Education Improvement Plan | Torfaen County Borough Council
