The Wilden & Riseley Partnership
In September 2021, the Governing Bodies of both Wilden and Riseley Church of England Primary School entered into a partnership with the support of both the Diocese of St Albans and Bedford Borough Council. A new permanent Executive Headteacher and Joint School Business Manager were appointed in September 2021.
The aims of the partnership are:
- To positively impact pupil outcomes in both schools through implementing agreed school improvement priorities that neither school can deliver alone
- To achieve economies of scale by evaluating current school systems and staffing models
- To examine ways to develop the partnership which may include seeking other partners
