Partnerships - Do you really need them or can you go it alone?

With the continued rise of Multi-Academy Trusts (MAT) and Federations, it’s easy to be rushed into a decision when considering partnerships. In this week’s insight, we take a look at the challenges facing schools when forming partnerships to help guide the best decision for your school.

P

artnerships between schools have grown at an exponential rate since the introduction of the Learning and Skills Act in

2000. Currently, the UK has in excess of 800 Multi Academy Trusts, some with over 50 schools. Federations are a growing alternative to academisation.

In 2016, there were over 1000 schools that were part of a federation.

Partnerships between schools are formed primarily to improve standards by making the most of both cash and physical resources. Although research on the impact of federations and MATs is inconclusive as to how successful they are.

This makes the decision of forming a partnership an incredibly important one, ensuring that your school not only chooses the right type of partnership, (Federation, MAT or just collaboration on a project) but also choose the right partner.
