Lambeth Schools Partnership (LSP)
The LSP is an umbrella organisation where the Local Authority, schools and settings can work in partnership to accelerate school improvement across the borough and provide professional challenge and support.
It will co-ordinate, signpost to and broker a range of other providers offering training and traded support services which will be available via Lambeth School Services, Teaching Schools and Clusters.
More Details
The primary focus of the LSP will be on collaboration for school improvement ' for all schools, not just for those experiencing difficulties ' and on achieving the best educational outcomes for the children and young people of Lambeth.
The LSP vision and values are at one with those of the Council, and its focus on improving outcomes for our children and young people is reflected in a commitment to specific, targeted outcomes. Further, school improvement is a system-wide endeavour. This proposal would make the LSP responsible for school improvement in Lambeth alongside core school improvement staff who are responsible for the statutory function.
The Local Authority will retain its statutory duties to ensure school effectiveness, however all partners will be expected to:
- Sign up to the LSP vision and values
- Contribute expertise to partner schools
- Be Willing to offer peer support
- Share best practice
- Elect through school clusters members of the Partnership Board
- Provide feedback on services received whether paid for or in kind
- Be willing to take responsibility for outcomes beyond own school
