Partnerships bring fresh ideas, productive relationships and useful structures into schools - and help all of us to do better at our core job of educating young people, no matter which sector or phase we sit in. Indeed, partnerships that cross sectors can be the most productive of all. There is an energy and excitement to the projects in this volume that is testament to that. The Schools Together Group was formed in April 2016 to promote the value of partnerships. It is composed of representatives from both sectors, and we hold two seminar events a year alongside an annual conference, which takes place in York in 2018.
