Membership Fees

Membership allows all schools in your partnership to benefit – you decide how CPD and development opportunities are used.

When you join, we ask you to provide one lead contact. All membership opportunities are shared with this contact for onward sharing with schools in your partnership. We also provide a link to sign up to the S.P.A. newsletter, which can be sent to all the schools in your partnership to keep them up to date with the latest S.P.A. news, research and programme opportunities.

Membership will be FREE OF CHARGE until September 2025.

Schools who would like to SUPPORT us financially (and receive extra benefits), can sign up to be SUPPORTERS, SILVER SUPPORTERS or GOLD SUPPORTERS, or CHAMPIONS. Contact us for further information.

There are four distinct stages: 1. Each partner completes a health check survey, ranking the partnership on a variety of areas, from green to red. 2. Your S.P.A. consultant will analyse the data, and prioritise areas for discussion at a review workshop. 3. Your S.P.A. consultant will facilitate the review workshop, presenting the survey analysis and supporting discussion around the positive experiences or the challenges partners have around it. They will help the partnership determine the actions that should be taken, by whom and by when. 4. A priority action planning report will be provided.	£2,500	£3,000
