Introduction to The Partnership

The Howard Partnership Trust (THPT) is a Multi-Academy Trust, comprising four secondary and six primary schools.

We have a long-standing tradition of highly effective partnership working developed from the first federation of Surrey Schools, originally formed in 2007 at the request of the DfE and Surrey Local Authority. 

 

The distinctive feature of THPT is that the schools within our MAT all retain their own unique features in order to meet the needs of the communities which they serve. However, the vision and values that underpin the schools are rooted in the same guiding principles: namely to ensure that a first-rate education is provided through consistently high quality teaching which facilitates excellent learning within an inclusive, caring, vibrant environment. With this shared ethos, our vision is that we all aim to ‘Bring out the best’ in our students, of all abilities and backgrounds, and so increase their life-chances.

As a group of schools, we offer outstanding professional development for all partnership colleagues resulting in highly qualified and experienced staff who are caring and approachable, and expert support from our ‘back office’ departments.

Outstanding Academies and MATs are a vital part of the Government’s vision for education. School-to-school support has increasingly become the most effective model for improving the educational outcomes for students.

THPT continues to be asked by the Local Authority and DfE to work with other schools with on-going development of effective partnerships across both primary and secondary phases to help raise standards of student achievement throughout Surrey.  We believe such partnership activities help our schools to be even more successful by building upon our existing excellent practice and so remain at the 'cutting edge' of education.
