Collaboration


		11-16 schools

		6th form schools

		Colleges

Collaboration is seen as an important means to achieving a coherent 14-19 phase. It can:

offer young people a wide choice of learning opportunities
enable different types of learning in a range of settings
lead to diverse qualifications
optimise the match between individual student and programme
optimise the use of expertise and resources
ensure effective progression.

Collaborative arrangements to enhance curriculum flexibility are not new. Over the years there have been many effective curriculum partnerships involving schools, colleges, training providers and others. In creating new partnerships it makes sense to use the lessons learnt to ensure that new arrangements build on the best of past and current practice. This section distils the characteristics of effective planning and practice as identified in evaluation, inspection, research and other reports published over the years.
