Partnerships begin by working together on an ‘Evidence Exploration’ partnership, which identifies an education priority that can be effectively addressed and co-develops a solution. Some partnerships will then continue the journey through an ‘Evidence into Action’ partnership, involving bespoke professional development and ongoing support over a sustained period.
The Network is currently identifying potential partnerships and aiming to work with schools where there are high numbers of pupils eligible for free school meals and where closing the attainment gap is a priority.
