👩‍🏫 What Do We Do Together?

The alliance gives our staff, pupils, and governors opportunities to learn, grow and succeed by sharing knowledge, resources and experiences across all our schools.

Key areas of collaboration include:

• 📚 Joint Staff Training – including full training days involving over 400 staff members

• 🌟 Celebration of Education Events – where pupils showcase their learning with pride

• 🧑‍💼 Governor Training – supporting effective governance and shared values

These shared experiences help foster high standards, encourage innovation, and ensure that every child benefits from a broader range of opportunities and expertise.
