RAISING ACHIEVEMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME

Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College believe that sharing good practice and working collaboratively is and an essential part of aiding student learning and being successful.

The SSAT Raising Achievement Partnership Programme aims to offer the opportunity to involve as many partners as possible in sharing ideas to aid successful learning. As a RAPP school we are committed to ensuring that the that the dialogue can be shared and discussed with colleagues in a open atmosphere.

Our intention is to provide ideas and informed responses to issues facing educators today so that participants feel that they have gained useful strategies that they can easily implement in their own environment.

Broadoak has worked in partnership with other schools and found it a very rewarding experience. We believe it is essential to continually improve and by working through the Raising Achievement Partnership Programme we aim to do this. We are committed to giving all students the best chance possible so by sharing professional development opportunities we can do this.

This prospectus gives you a flavour of what we have to offer you in the way of support in 2009/10. Please contact either myself or Jackie Vernon should you be interested in finding out more.

We look forward to working with you in the future.
