Leading On - Powerful School Partnerships

Ahead of Partnerships Week commencing 27 November we will explore the possibilities and potential of establishing authentic cross sector partnerships and the benefits these can bring to young people, staff and wider school communities.

Celebrating Partnerships Week commencing 27 November we are exploring the possibilities and exciting potential of establishing authentic cross sector partnerships, showcasing the benefits for young people, staff and wider school communities. Historically many partnership collaborations have evolved from local personal connections and goodwill. With key leaders from state and independent sectors we aim to encourage schools to adopt a more strategic approach to establish meaningful, mutually beneficial partnerships aligned with shared aims and ethos that will enrich the experience of young people. Partnerships come in all shapes and sizes, and we hope to inspire schools to be unafraid to act small and dream big!
