Think Pieces and Publications

Netley Primary School is proud to be part of a local schools led partnership.

The 135 partnership was initially formed in 2016 and is a collaborative partnership between Rhyl Community Primary school, Netley Primary School, Gospel Oak Primary School and Fleet Primary School. 

Our four schools have a history of working very effectively together. Whilst each school maintains its own individual ethos, we have a clear set of shared values and a strong common purpose. Our vision is that partnership working will enable us to be both more effective and more efficient in supporting our children and families.

Our focus is on sharing best practise, leadership working, shared staff training and CPD and annual School Peer review.  We have called these reviews ‘Collaborative Enquiries’.  They are led by the Head Teacher and the Camden Professional Partner plus a peer Head Teacher from one of the Partnership Schools.   The focus is particular to each school and their School Improvement focus.  Not only do the collaborative enquires enable us to identify strengths across the schools but they also provide professional challenge and support in identifying further areas for improvement and development.

Netley staff all engage in research and Joint Professional Development

At Netley, we use a 'Teaching for Mastery' approach to teaching Mathematics based on the research from the NCETM and the Shanghai-UK exchange. Our staff have taken on a model of staff development that occurs in Shanghai called Teacher Research Groups (TRG). At Netley, throughout the term, a phase runs a TRG where teachers observe part of a lesson followed by a detailed discussion about the pedagogy.  The aim is to share good practice, further teacher knowledge and develop a reflective culture.

We offer this Research Group model to support staff too.

Before the 135 partnership, staff worked together to research a common theme and created Think Pieces to share good practice. Here are some of the pieces we have created over the years:
