S.P.A. features in TISCA newsletter
The School Partnerships Alliance (S.P.A.) is emerging as the national authority on collaboration in education and helping schools with an ambition to work across the state and independent sectors to think more strategically and impactfully about their partnership work. In addition to helping create networks of partnership professionals and to brokering relations between schools in different settings, it’s been a delight to work with third parties to ensure that their missions can serve pupils in both the state and the independent sectors. One example of this that will interest a TISCA readership is the work that S.P.A. is undertaking with the National Society for Education, the Church of England’s educational directorate. Early in my time at S.P.A., I was introduced to Andy Wolfe, Acting CEO of the NSE, and we quickly realised the scope there was for independent schools to work with the NSE and benefit from its Flourishing programmes: see https://www.nse.org.uk/foundation-for-educationalleadership/flourishing-leaders and https://www.nse.org.uk/ flourishing-teacher-programme
