Strong together. Rooted in place.

The net is the school group: its shared strength, relationships and collective learning. The anchors are schools rooted in their communities, connected to families, local services and the places children call home.

A vision you can work with.

The paper brings together case studies, questions about governance and leadership, and a one-page tool to help leaders think about their own setting. For school, trust and school-group leaders in the UK and internationally.
