The Wharfe Valley Learning Partnership is a group of schools within and close to Wetherby and Boston Spa, who work together to ensure consistently high standards of teaching and learning across the partnership. School leaders and governors from each school work together to provide ‘critical friendship’, collaboration and professional development opportunities for all staff and governors. The Head Teachers meet at least once per half term to agree common actions to support good outcomes in all schools, whilst maintaining the unique character and autonomy of each school in the partnership. Currently the schools in the partnership are: Harewood C of E Primary School, Deighton Gates Primary School, St John’s Catholic School for the Deaf, Primrose Lane Primary School, St Mary’s C of E Primary School, LEH Thorpe Arch C of E Primary School, Bardsey Primary School and LEH Collingham C of E Primary School. We are supported by colleagues from Leeds for Learning, who provide a bespoke school improvement package that supports the aims identified by the Head Teachers and is tailored to the needs of pupils in the partnership
