Details

We want to encourage schools to build sustainable and reciprocal partnerships with universities, independent schools and selective schools.

This collection of guidance will help potential partners to set up, formalise and evaluate their partnerships.

This guidance is for all schools, colleges and universities:

  • headteachers, teachers and staff
  • governing bodies, proprietors and management committees

The guidance will help you to assess your needs and identify ways to establish or grow a partnership to meet those needs.
