Are Your School's Partnerships Effective and Sustainable?

As schools and clusters look set to become increasingly empowered to manage their funding and make key strategic decisions about their development, it is vital that every school understands how to work effectively across partnerships and clusters for maximum benefits and sustainability. This forthcoming conference will respond to the emerging developments of the new political agenda to provide important guidance and insight into ensuring all school partnerships deliver maximum benefits to all.

Keynote speakers will present the political agenda and national perspective, and schools from across the country will present case-studies of their experiences and successes in effective collaborative working relationships. Delegates will take away practical ideas for ensuring partnerships are sustainable and providing efficiency savings or school improvements, and understand how these partnerships can be measured.

Key themes addressed include:
• Commissioning and making efficiencies
• Creating sustainable partnerships
• Funding opportunities for clusters
• Models of governance and leadership
• Improving behaviour and motivation of pupils through extended services partnerships
• Raising standards across a community
• The Power of Partnership CPD

Case Studies:
• Cross-in-Hand Church of England Primary School, East Sussex
• Edge Partnership of Schools, Birmingham
• Priory School, Bromley
• Willingdon Primary School, Eastbourne
