The Birmingham Catholic Primary Partnership was
established in 1995.
Its core purpose is to 'promote curriculum and
professional development, thereby enhancing the quality of teaching
and learning in all Catholic primary schools in Birmingham and to
work together in true partnership, thereby sharing expertise, so
as to enrich the education of all the children in the Partnership
schools, in an atmosphere of Christian love, which will benefit
Catholic Education in the city'.
We now have seventy-nine schools who are members
of the Primary Partnership. See our Member
Schools page for details of these.
These schools are grouped into smaller clusters
for a variety of activities. Each cluster elects, annually, a Management
Board Representative and a Cluster Representative. These people
represent their cluster at Management Board meetings, which meet
five times a year.
A comprehensive professional development package,
(INSET), is offered to schools each academic year and all courses
are carefully evaluated.
An annual report is published by the Primary Partnership
each year, and a variety of other activities and services are also
offered to schools by the Primary Partnership.
Since its inception, the role of the Primary
Partnership has been greatly enhanced to provide a wide range of
additional services for member schools, to ensure greater efficiency
and value for money.
