About this site

 

This site offers support for school linking within the UK in the following ways:

 

  • Through strategic development of local authority work with school linking
  • direct school-to-school linking across the country via the National Gateway
  • By providing resources, courses and advice for anyone interested in the way school linking can support active citizenship and greater understanding of issues of identity and diversity

ringsThe Schools Linking Network draws on six years' experience of local linking in Bradford, where we now work with approximately 100 schools per year. In 2006-7 we also worked with Tower Hamlets, which now runs its own School Linking Project and in 2007-8 we are embarking on a national programme to support other local authorities across the UK to establish sustainable and effective linking programmes which respond to and meet local need.

 

We are also working in collaboration with the British Council to support individual school-to-school links. The National Gateway, built especially for the Schools Linking Network, will work with schools to form partnerships in other parts of England.

 

We are inviting all schools interested in finding partner schools in England to register on the new National Gateway on this site. Here, schools will be supported with free CPD and resources by us, and put in touch with partner schools within their area or in a different part of England.
