Southwark Schools' Learning Partnership

The Southwark School's Learning Partnership is a collaboration of ten schools — seven state and three independent — based in Southwark, a borough of south London, England. The partnership was founded in 2003.

The aims of the partnership
  • For staff and pupils from schools in both sectors to work together to develop innovative practice and to share and broaden their experience in order to improve teaching and learning in the participating schools
  • To produce research that usefully informs the debate about factors that improve achievement levels for pupils from different backgrounds in inner-city schools
  • To increase levels of learning and understanding for staff and pupils throughout the partner schools of what we have in common, what is different, and how we can learn from one another
  • To increase understanding of factors that affect pupil achievement, especially those that lead to pupils’ success, through joint inquiries
  • To share teachers’ passion and creativity, particularly related to subject knowledge
  • To break down barriers and increase understanding between the maintained and independent sectors
  • To publish research results to increase the wider understanding of factors that influence pupil achievement

The co-directors

The co-directors are Marion Gibbs (of JAGS) and Irene Bishop (of SSSO). In June 2012, both were appointed CBE in the Queen's birthday honours for Services to Education, including the SSLP. Update: As of 2016, Grainne Grabowski and Joseph Spence are the current co-directors of SSLP.

gollark: Except bits which need to be very high performance, if it has any.
gollark: Mathematica is probably not programmed in assembly, say.
gollark: ... generally, software which actually solves some sort of problem.
gollark: Assembly has a bit of a niche for low-level stuff (so OSes and reverse engineering and stuff which needs to run as fast as possible and whatever), but practical stuff *is mostly not that*, and the majority of the time easier development and maintenance is more significant than that.
gollark: Have fun writing webapps while using Assembly!
