Section 5: Preparing for partnership

Aims: The first activity in this section will help you clarify your own views about the desirability of a new partnership for your school. Will you recommend that your school goes ahead or not? If you decide not to go ahead then you can exit the course at this point. If you do decide to go ahead then the remainder of this section will help you prepare for partnership.

This section suggests practical preparatory work that can be put in place before approaching a potential partner school to make the possibility of finding a compatible partner more likely and sustainable.
