Southwark Schools' Learning Partnership

The Southwark School's Learning Partnership is a unique collaboration of nine schools, 6 state and 3 independent, based in Southwark, a borough in South London.

The partnership was founded in 2003.

The aims of the partnership

*For staff and pupils from schools in both sectors to work together to develop innovative practice and to share and broaden their experience in order to improve teaching and learning in the participating schools
*To produce research which will usefully inform the debate about factors which improve levels of achievement for pupils from different backgrounds in inner-city schools
*To increase levels of learning and understanding for staff and pupils throughout the partner schools of what we have in common, what is different and how we can learn from one another
*To increase our understanding of factors affecting pupil achievement, especially those which lead to pupils’ success, through joint enquiries
*To share teachers’ passion and creativity, particularly related to subject knowledge
*To break down barriers and increase understanding between the maintained and independent sectors
*To publish the results of our research to increase the wider understanding of factors which influence pupil achievement
