West Berkshire Secondary Subject Networks

The Downland Alliance facilitates the coordination of the highly successful Secondary Subject Networks meetings within West Berkshire.

This highly valued sequence of meetings held three times during the academic year provide the opportunity for teachers to come together with like-minded colleagues to share ideas and good practice, and explore challenges and opportunities.

Colleagues have benefitted from valuable discussions from some or all of the following areas in the past:

• Developing strategies, and sharing ideas
• Exam moderation, Exam Boards and Resources
• Sharing resources and exemplar material
• Curriculum changes, challenges and planning
• Assessment, and challenges through KS3-5

We currently have well-established networks in the following subject areas. Meeting dates are available from the network leads. Some meetings are taking place online. If you would like to join a network or set up a new one – please get in touch:

The following secondary schools are members of the network. If your school subscribes, you can attend a meeting for free If your school does not subscribe but you would like to attend a meeting, please speak to your Headteacher and contact us for further information as there will be a charge for attending.
