Gatley Primary - Empower Learning Institute

Engaging in diverse partnerships, within and beyond our local network of schools, enables staff to access and be part of a learning community with a clear sense of direction to impact on achievement for all learners. This positively impacts on teaching and learning and enables us to grow our future teachers and leaders.

The GMLP is made up of representatives of each of the key groups charged with school improvement across Greater Manchester, which includes Gatley Primary School who work directly with the Department for Education to provide services to schools including school improvement, Continuing Professional Development and Initial Teacher Training.

HEI (Higher Education Institution) Partnerships

We have strong HEI links with Manchester Metropolitan University; offering Accreditation of Leadership Programmes, Research & Development projects, and ITT training.  

Our Transition Team have partnered with the University of Manchester, who have developed, piloted and are now validating a scale to measure children’s emotional wellbeing over primary-secondary school transitions. This scale is called the Primary-Secondary School Transitions Emotional Wellbeing Scale (P-S WELLS) and will provide schools with insight into:

  • which aspects of moving to secondary school children are experiencing emotional difficulties with
  • who might be particularly vulnerable
  • what support could be useful, on a universal, whole-class basis, but also on a targeted 1:1 or group basis
