The Constable Collaborative Partnership

 

'The Constable Collaborative Partnership (CCP) leads its staff, children and community to excellence.  To drive continuous improvement, it develops and shares staff expertise.  It is ambitious for the growth of the whole child.’

 

The CCP works in partnership to develop its action plan for continuous school improvement based on the following areas: excellence, ambition, ‘whole child’ and community.  Each aspect of our partnership has been broken into a range of activities/areas of collaboration, which will improve the school experience and outcomes for all its children.

 

For many years, Highfields has been working strategically and collaboratively with Lawford C of E Primary and Dedham Primary School.

 

The three Heads and Deputies meet regularly to plan valuable training for Governors, Senior Managers, teachers and support staff.

 

Each term teachers have opportunities to spend time in each other’s schools, observing and planning opportunities for sharing ideas and moderating samples of children’s work.

 

This year, again, the Head teachers have carried out peer reviews in each other’s schools. 

 

We have found the partnership very helpful and supportive in moving the school’s development forward. Combining the expertise in each school is very powerful.

 

We can all learn from each other and share our experiences to ensure that we continue to progress and make our schools the best they can be.
