Envision Partnership

“Envisioning a better future for our pupils”

 

What is the Envision Partnership?

St Andrew’s is proud to be part of the ‘Envision’ Partnership, which works collaboratively to deliver school to school support work across the primary phase. Originally formed in 2019, the partnership now includes 21 primary schools working in and around the Bishop’s Stortford area including schools across the border in Essex. The ‘Envision’ initiative is built on the principle that educators working together to share ideas and best practice can have a much greater positive impact on children’s lives than when they work alone.

Building on historically very strong working relationships the formal partnership cements the commitment of all schools involved to ‘envision a better future for our pupils.’

School Improvement

All the schools have committed to a ‘Schools Partnership Programme’, which is an evidence-based collaborative school improvement model that builds the capacity of leaders at every level to lead rigorous and outcomes-focused peer review and school-to-school support. This programme recognises the vast potential that exists in a school system and offers the framework to harness that potential to produce a sustainable school improvement model.

The participating schools are of high quality and this initiative commendably ensures continual improvement and the development of practice for all the pupils in the Bishop’s Stortford area.

The partnership schools include:  Windhill21, Summercroft, Northgate, Richard Whittington, Elsenham, Furneux Pelham, Little Hadham, Manor Fields, St Andrew’s Much Hadham, All Saints, Thorn Grove, Thorley Hill, Albury, Spellbrook, Hillmead, St Michael’s, High Wych, Reedings, Fawbert and Barnard, Mandeville and Manuden.
