Kidderminster Primary Schools Alliance

KPSA website

A joint partnership between Cookley Primary School, Chaddesley Corbett Primary School, Comberton Primary School, Offmore Primary School & St Catherine’s CE Primary School.

The aims of the partnership are:

To improve the outcomes in the key areas of teaching and learning, behavior and well-being and achievement through:

Collaboration - the sharing of expertise, good practice, knowledge and data
Increased capacity (shared common policies and resources)
Better opportunities for high quality professional development
Shared quality assurance - school to school visits (similar to Ofsted) and
moderation (ensuring assessment judgements are fair and accurate)
Improved economies of scale (for example bulk purchasing, shared costs)

Benefits of the alliance

Sharing resources and provisions and expertise across the schools particularly for curriculum subject leadership,
Shared professional development for staff and the schools are able to build on established classroom approaches,
Allowing all staff to collaborate and improve standards in all schools (eg Metacognition work),
The cost effectiveness of shared work (such as CPD), makes previously unaffordable training accessible for all schools.
