HEAD FROM THE As part of our strategic development we have planned to work on the following targets: I’m pleased that so many of our students seize the opportunity to be part of our Partnership programme, contributing in all sorts of ways. In discussion with them, I’m often struck by the impact that their involvement has had upon them and I’m confident that their experiences not only broaden their horizons but also give them a chance to experience leadership and to show initiative. Our activities with the OX14 Learning Partnership also cement our position at the heart of the local community and give our students a sense of belonging and civic pride, as well as giving them further opportunities to have fun and meet new people. I’m grateful to my colleagues for all the work that they put into the construction of such a successful partnership programme and to all the students who engage with the programme so positively. The Future of Partnerships at Abingdon School Create a system to monitor and measure skills developed and contributions to Partnerships for Abingdon Students. Sustain breadth and balance of primary events, both regular and one off, and encourage Abingdon student involvement wherever possible. Curate a streamlined, impactful, sustainable and broad Partnership programme covering mental health and wellbeing, Sports and Performing Arts. ASP - Formalise a secondary programme of Partnership activity e.g. resource sharing and workshops alongside continued commitment to Primary Science. Together with my fellow Governors, I have found it inspiring to watch the evolution of ASiP. Through the increasing breadth of its activities and the success of its contribution to the OX14 Learning Partnership, we have seen the evidence that it brings in developing teamwork, communication, and self-motivation for pupils and in the sharing of experience and expertise for staff. We welcome the friendships and understandings built beyond the walls of our own schools and we wish to see Abingdon continue to share in its fundamental responsibility for supporting young people towards an educated, fulfilling and contributory future.
