The Department for Education (DfE) supports collaboration across all sectors, including between independent schools, state-funded schools, colleges and universities. We encourage schools to develop ambitious partnerships that deliver activities focused on one or more of the following areas:

• leadership and governance
• teaching
• curriculum development and support
• targeted school improvement activities

Each partnership should ensure that it:

• is sustainable for all partner schools
• is mutually beneficial for all partner schools
• prioritises activities that bring about the greatest impact
