Collaboration and Federation

We joined Victoria CE Infant and Nursery School in September 2017 to form one of the first formal collaborations in Hertfordshire and the Diocese of St Albans, but one of many such school organisations across the country.

Our two schools have much in common and share an executive headteacher, a leadership team and a Governing Body.

Bringing our schools together in this way is providing both schools with many new opportunities, from children working together across the collaboration to shared teaching, staff development and projects. The governors believe that the learning experience and achievement of children at our schools will be improved through our formal collaboration.

Working more collaboratively is the future for education, particularly for smaller primary schools, or schools forming multi-academy trusts. We are proud to be blazing a trail in Hertfordshire and the Diocese of St Albans with something so new and exciting.
