The Corinthian Partnership

A partnership of four schools, coming together for mutual benefit of pupils and staff.

Aims

The purpose of The Corinthian Partnership is to offer a collaborative network of local, independently minded primary schools in order to maximise the resources and skills available to each.

Background

Working with three local schools with 445 children on roll we have hosted themed events for the children including a Reading Experience day and a Drama Enrichment day. We have established a Maths Network Group meeting to share best practice and we held joint inset training days with teaching colleagues from all schools. The Headmaster participates in monthly meetings with other Heads in The Corinthian Partnership where best practice is shared and opportunities to develop academic standards and co-curricular activities are identified.

Resources

Cokethorpe School hosts half termly meetings for head teachers, and events for pupils to work together, such as drama day, LEGO day, football tournaments.   

Impact

We regard The Corinthian Partnership as a major success, staff across all schools have provided positive feedback on the initiatives. Pupil feedback has also been encouraging with value being seen both in the development of coaching and mentoring skills in our senior pupils and providing an opportunity for our Prep pupils to learn and work alongside state pupils is mutually beneficial.

Frequency

Half termly meetings for member heads, termly events and competitions.
