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, while staff in schools are themselves often stretched to the limit.

The Schools Project aims to tackle these problems. It was set up in 2000 to establish common-sense links between schools and other bodies.

We work with government agencies, professional organisations and the private sector to develop hassle-free, low-cost projects that are teacher-friendly and easily managed.
