Alliance and project management

Alliance and project management

In financially tight times you want every penny to count for the good of the school. Being part of a wider alliance or engaging in a multi-school project is a great way of making the most of limited school funds, and can bring in external revenue. But where is the capacity in your senior leadership team to manage those sorts of time-consuming tasks?
Read More

We currently manage a teaching school alliance and an educational improvement partnership covering over forty schools and colleges. We also manage NQT provision across East Sussex on behalf of the East Sussex Teaching School Alliances. In addition, we manage arts and education projects, Maths hub developments, Early Years Excellence Hubs, ITT with the University of Sussex, and shared initiatives with three other TSAs. With the support of our administration team we have the capacity to help your project succeed.

If you are looking to manage a multi-school project or want a flexible, financially smart alliance management option email Stephen at stephen@fulcrumlearning.co.uk to set up your free consultation.
