Within the Odyssey Teaching School Alliance we have a growing number of partnerships developing between schools. As part of the alliance, schools have the opportunity to share development needs and establish new partnerships to help support school improvement. Schools within our alliance have considerable experience of providing school-school support over the short, medium and longer term. We always welcome contact from schools outside our alliance who would like to explore the possibility of working collaboratively to raise standards and facilitate improvement. Please do email info@odysseyts.org if you would be interested in working with us

As an alliance we believe strongly in the power of school based research.
