Challenge Partners is a group of schools which aims to raise standards of education. We believe there is much that is good about our schools, yet we also know that there is more we can all learn.

Challenge Partners exists to:

• Increase our students’ performance in public examinations at a rate considerably higher than the national average

• Increase the number of Partner schools that are outstanding and meet the National Teaching School criteria

• Improve the Partner schools’ Ofsted rating and National College school-to-school work designation at a considerably higher rate than the national average

• Develop internationally the concept of effective collaborative learning between schools and contributing to national research and policy making
