The North Craven Locality Plan was set up in 2006. It provides funding for time for the 14 Heads to meet and work together to enhance learning opportunities. Specific projects include:
-
Transition events to ease the difficulties students experience when transferring from primary to middle school and middle school to the college
-
Support for teachers from different schools to plan work together to ensure consistency and good progression across the cluster
-
Funding for joint training on issues such as performance management, closing the gap between boys' and girls' achievement and improving literacy skills
The Three Peaks Education Partnership was set up in 2008 between Settle College, Settle Middle School and Ingleton Middle School. Its main aims are to:
- Ensure curriculum & subject continuity
- Investigate joint staffing
- Ensure continuity in assessing students’ progress especially at Key Stage 3
- Enable subject leaders across the three schools to meet on a regular basis
- Continually improve transition arrangements;
- Share Governance
- Look at ways of making our infrastructures as cost effective as possible (e.g. catering, ICT; business management, website…)
