Working in Partnership

Envision Partnership 

Envision Partnership.

 

Fawbert & Barnard Infants School is proud to be part of the ‘Envision’ Partnership, which works collaboratively to deliver school to school support work across the primary phase. Originally formed in 2019, the partnership now includes 21 primary schools working in and around the Bishop’s Stortford area including schools across the border in Essex. The ‘Envision’ initiative is built on the principle that educators working together to share ideas and best practice can have a much greater positive impact on children’s lives than when they work alone.

Building on historically very strong working relationships the formal partnership cements the commitment of all schools involved to ‘envision a better future for our pupils.’

 

                                                                           

On achieving IQM Centre of Excellence Status in June 2023, F&B automatically become part of an IQM 'Cluster of Schools'. These groups take place three times per year, spending a full day each time in one of the cluster member's schools. The host school will determine the theme(s) of the day. Previous themes have included: Autism & Disability Awareness, Speech & Language, Community Engagement, Supporting Social, Emotional & Mental Health Issues, Intervention Strategies & Associated Data. 

                                                                                   

In January 2023 we began a wonderful partnership with All Sorts Dementia Group. Each month, our Year 2 children visit as part of our community outreach pledge, and spend an afternoon completing arts and crafts activities with the members, who have mild to moderate dementia. These afternoons (in addition to being so much fun!) support our children with a wide range of Personal Development skills, and are vital in helping them understand the role they play within the local and wider community.
