Partnership Schools Ireland 2017
- Published: 19 January 2017
Partnership for Schools Ireland is a joint initiative by National Parents’ Council Primary (NPC) and Irish Primary Principals’ Network (IPPN). Better outcomes for children are the main objectives of “a Partnership School”, achieved by the whole school community, planning and working together on agreed activities.
The model originated in America and is currently becoming very popular in schools around Ireland. The approach seeks to encourage children, school staff, parents and community partners to work together, to form an effective partnership in their school for the benefit of the children. This partnership works extremely well. Principals and teaching staff are glad of the extra ideas and the practical supports which are organised by the Action Team Partnership members. The partnership does not interfere with, or change the school’s programme of work, but often enhances it and brings about better outcomes for children.
Would you like your school to be involved? Please call Liam McPherson (ATP Co-ordinator) on 01 8874478 or email: lmcpherson@npc.ie Alternatively, meet Liam at the conference to discuss this initiative in more detail.
