Forest Learning Alliance (FLA) is an educational training provider, offering evidence-based CPD for teachers and schools leaders. We work closely with an Alliance of schools covering all phases and settings, and other educational professionals across the South of England and specifically across Berkshire. We work together to provide high quality support for all areas of school and career stage teacher development opportunities.

The FLA lead school is Uplands Primary School and Nursery, which was a designated National Teaching School from March 2013 through to 31st August 2021 when all National Teaching Schools were superseded by the UK governments Teaching School and Curriculum Hub initiatives.

We are a Nationally Accredited provider for National Professional Qualifications (2017-2022). We are also a Delivery Partner for the newly reformed suite of National Professional Qualifications (2021-onwards) together with Lead National Provider, Education Development Trust (EDT). Alongside the NPQs, we are offering EDTs Early Career Development programme as their Delivery Partner. Early career training is currently fully funded by the Department for Education to support the rollout of the Early Career Framework and DfEs wider ‘Golden Thread’ initiative for teacher development.

The Alliance has a strategic board that consists of representatives from schools, universities, and local authority. This board controls the governance of the Forest Learning Alliance.
