Mrs Henson is the current chair with Mrs Batt (Moreton) and Mrs O'Donnell (Epping Primary) on the management committee.
The Partnership Vision is:
"Working collaboratively in the Epping Forest School-Led Improvement Partnership, we strive to achieve excellent outcomes and opportunities for all pupils in our local communities".
The Partnership will use our combined skills, knowledge, expertise and experience to drive forward school improvement and raise standards and outcomes for pupils, whilst respecting each school's culture, ethos, values and identity. The Partnership will share best practice and key strengths both within and beyond the group to help facilitate support, development and improvement.
We are excited by this opportunity to work collaboratively with neighbouring schools to provide the best provision for all children in our community.
