As a whole school, we work with a range of partner organisations and networks.  These collaborative links support us to rigorously self-review and refine our pedagogical approach.  Our own practice is being developed over time through this process as well as supporting local and national schools to develop theirs.  

Professional Partnerships

Challenge Partners 

Our school is in the South of England Special school hub of the Challenge Partner network.  We work closely in collaboration with many of our partner schools to share good practice, support our own development and ensure we engage in appropriate analysis of our effectiveness.  All members of our senior team are trained reviewers and review other schools as part of purposeful leadership teams.  At SRS, we consider engagement with this network to be an essential part of our outward-looking practice.  We believe we can provide the very best support for our own pupils when we collaborate and develop in conjunction with other excellent practitioners.
