Kidderminster Primary Schools Alliance

KPSA is 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.
