Peer Accreditor Application Form

Peer Accreditor Application Form

To continue with the high-quality compliance and accreditation services we provide, we are seeking to recruit a number of Peer Accreditors (PA) to join our visits.

This is a voluntary role which includes a significant amount of learning observations and supporting meetings. All expenses are covered by the school. Being a Peer Accreditor gives the opportunity to work with a range of schools, expand your network and develop your own professional skills.

We are very keen to receive applications from a diverse and inclusive range of candidates who represent students and school communities across the world. We are also very keen to recruit PAs with specialisms in Early Years Education and Additional Educational Needs.

As always, we encourage diversity and equity within our PA recruitment. All PAs will undergo a short online meeting to confirm eligibility before being invited to training.
