About Us ...
The Schools Project
is a teacher-led partnership
which builds bridges between schools and the outside
world.
Many organisations are keen to help schools but do not
have sufficient time for a major commitment. Meanwhile school
staff are also stretched to the limit. The Schools Project aims to tackle these
problems. It was set up in 2000 to establish
common sense, hassle-free links between schools and other bodies.
We work with government agencies,
professional organisations and the private
sector to develop low-cost projects that
are teacher-friendly and easily managed.
The Schools Project
is not government funded. We operate commercially in
the same way as a law firm or accountancy practice. All
our projects have an ethical dimension, raise the
ambitions, skills or fitness of youngsters, or offer
benefit to the wider community.
