The Nene Valley Partnership (NVP) is a group of schools in Northamptonshire, England, formed to provide collaborative educational opportunities and resources across its member institutions. Established in April 2019 [4], the trust aims to enhance the quality of education through shared expertise and centralised management.
The founding member schools were Wollaston School, Bozeat Community Primary School and Irchester Community Primary School. Cogenhoe Primary School joined the Trust in 2022.
Member Schools
[edit]Nene Valley Partnership is made up of the following schools:
- Wollaston School: A secondary school located in Wollaston Village. Opened in 1958 [5], Wollaston School is focused on academic achievement and extracurricular activities.
- Irchester Community Primary School: A primary school located in Irchester village. Irchester Primary School was designed by the architect John George Bland and opened in 1849.[6] Known for its innovative approach to science education through its Lab 13 initiative. [7]
- Bozeat Community Primary School: A primary school located in Bozeat village. Founded in 1973 [8] it offers a supportive environment emphasizing community values and comprehensive educational development.
- Cogenhoe Primary School: A primary school located in Cogenhoe Village. It was founded in 1971 [9] and provides a range of educational programs and strong community involvement.
Objectives
[edit]The primary objectives of the trust are to improve educational outcomes, share best practices among member schools, and ensure efficient use of resources. The trust focuses on professional development for staff, innovative teaching methods, and community involvement.
Governance
[edit]The trust is governed by a Board of Trustees, which oversees the strategic direction and financial management of the organisation. Each school within the trust retains a Local Governing Body to manage its day-to-day operations in alignment with the trust's overall policies and goals.
Educational Philosophy
[edit]The trust's mission is rooted in the belief that the member schools are stronger when they work together. This collaborative approach has been particularly beneficial during periods of national educational turbulence, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools within the trust supported each other to ensure continuity of education and high attendance rates.
Achievements and Initiatives
[edit]- Specialist Programs: Irchester Community Primary School's Lab 13 provides a unique space for scientific exploration and learning, enhancing the science curriculum across the trust through collaboration with other member schools.
- Professional Development: The Nene Valley Partnership places a strong emphasis on teacher professional development, working with various institutions and universities to provide initial teacher education and ongoing training.
- Ofsted: Bozeat Community Primary School received a "Good" Ofsted rating in 2023 having previously held the status of "Notice to Improve".[10]
Community Involvement
[edit]Nene Valley Partnership maintains strong ties with the local community. The trust frequently hosts events and activities that involve parents and local residents, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
In 2024 the Nene Valley Partnership recently took part in the eMAT Olympics [11] which was streamed live on YouTube [12]. The event features Olympic gold medal-winning javelin thrower Tessa Sanderson CBE and Sky Sports presenter Dave Fulton.
