Charitable status

The School Partnerships Alliance (S.P.A.) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (charity number 1196215). The journey from what was a small group of partnerships professionals just five years ago to this independent well supported charity has been swift and exciting. 

Opportunities

The trustees have high aspirations for the charity and since the Charity Commission approval there has been considerable cross sector enthusiasm for S.P.A.’s vision to promote and help develop sustainable and impactful cross sector partnerships which focus on addressing disadvantage; ones which promote mutual benefit and respect between the two sectors. 

S.P.A. will:

• develop an industry wide “kite-mark” for partnerships across both state and independent.
• offer professional CPD and share best practice.
• convene an annual conference, bringing together schools, partnership professionals, like-minded organisations and government (both national and local).
