What is the Primary Excellence Partnership?

The Primary Excellence Partnership is a formal collaboration between Blackhorse Primary School and Emersons Green Primary School.

The Partnership began in September 2022 and involves the two schools working closely together to improve teaching and provide more opportunities for children. 

As two popular and highly rated schools, both with Resource Bases for children with SEND, we are equal partners working together to provide an exceptional education for all our children. 

Much of the work of the partnership happens behind the scenes as it is focused on developing teaching and the curriculum. So far, the partnership has devised highly-successful reading, writing and strategies which are now used at both schools; have shared subject leaders for Computing and Religious Education; and have developed principles of ‘expert tuition’, which provide a common structure for most lessons.

There are also some initiatives which directly offer more opportunities to the children, with Emersons Green joining Blackhorse in some extra-curricular after school clubs. 

What are we trying to achieve?

Our vision:

Building excellence practice together to deliver exceptional outcomes for pupils.
