Greenwich Community Schools Partnership

Wyborne works collaboratively with several other schools within Royal Greenwich across the education sector which include Nursery, Primary, Secondary and Special Schools. The aim and shared values of our schools is to support all of our families and children to enable youngsters to thrive and be successful learners. We support each other as established schools to drive school improvement and develop innovative approaches to education.

It consists of a number of Outstanding and Good Schools:

Why do we work together?

We are a group of aspirational primary and secondary schools that want the best possible outcomes for our children and the best way for that to happen is to look to continuously learning from others. What better way is there to learn, than learning from other local schools?

What do we do?

We undertake a number of joint projects together to ensure that we are continuously improving.

We have joint training programmes in our schools for Leadership, Newly Qualified Teachers and Support Staff. This enables staff to learn excellent practice from other locations.

Staff get the opportunity to observe other teachers in other settings.

We compare our books and learning with each other to benchmark our standards and see if we could be aiming even higher.

We carry out ‘Peer Reviews’ on each other’s schools to help each other spot areas where we can improve.

We have shared resources which is invaluable in education.

We are also running initial teacher training together to ensure that we continue to get excellent staff in the future.

We are one of five schools nationally to have been selected to be part of a 3 three year programme called Disney Musicals in Schools (2024 – 2027). The programme supports sustainable theatre in schools by providing free production materials and continued professional development for staff.

Our production for 24/25 is The Lion King [Kids] and we are very excited to be performing this at the school from March 18th to March 20th 2025. We will also be taking the cast to the Lyceum theater to perform in a school share on March 24th!

This partnership has been timely with our GLOW topic throughout the academic year 24-25.

Atelier 21 Future School

We have partnered up with Atelier 21 Future School (A21) to support us with further developing our curriculum. The first stage of this process is implementing continuous provision in Year 1, taking inspiration from A21 and the Reggio Emilia approach. A21 are innovators in the world of education and are the first UK based school to be Reggio Emilia inspired and inquiry led for 4 – 16 year olds.

Big Education is a Multi-Academy Trust and a charity that is working to transform the education system to ensure young people receive a balanced education of the head (academics), heart (character and wellbeing) and hand (problem solving, creativity, making a difference). We have been working with Big Education since 2023 to support the development of our senior leaders and are now taking part in the Re-Thinking School project, which is a two year, whole school transformation project.
