Education seeks to prepare young people to lead happy, successful lives as productive citizens. Schools play an important role here, but many other organisations and sectors make a crucial contribution.

There is a significant movement in schools to connect pupils with the wider world through links with partners including employers, higher education, community groups and the voluntary sector. Many school leaders readily acknowledge that the task of educating the young requires the contribution of many players from all sectors.

The purpose of this website is to help bring together these wider partners and schools by sharing best practice, offering links to resources and development opportunities, and providing a forum where schools and other organisations can meet to share plans and activities.
