School Improvement Partnership Network
One of the most pleasant aspects of the job is hearing about the
outcomes of the bids awarded by SIS for school improvement
partnership activities. I am delighted to say that we are now
funding further initiatives for 2007 - 2008. 52 bids were
funded which followed the following criteria:
- the activities support one or more aspects of school
improvement often focused on themes and aspects not funded through
other funding steams;
- the activities must involve collaborative activity involving a
number of schools;
- the emphasis is on partnerships and networks and not on an
individual school. The partnerships are normally
geographical, thematic or by type of school;
- they should be as inclusive as possible;
- a named co-ordinator must be identified who will be responsible
for inviting ideas from interested schools;
- convenors should be prepared to attend a brief termly evening
meeting and to provide a brief report on activities.
The first convenor's meeting will take place at Horncastle on
16th October starting with a light buffet at 16.30. it should
be finished c. 6:00 pm.
All successful schools should by now have received
confirmation of thier bids. If not, or you wish further
