Southwark Schools’ Learning Partnership
Southwark Schools’ Learning Partnership (SSLP) is a long-standing collaboration between local schools. The partnership promotes projects for students and joint CPD (career professional development) for teaching staff. With the Master as the co-director of the partnership, Dulwich College provides leadership as well as a variety of projects that involve pupils and staff from the other member schools. The College’s appointment of a coordinator with dedicated time for SSLP has greatly enhanced SSLP’s impact.
In addition to Dr Spence’s role as co-director, a member of staff acts as the school link for SSLP with involvement from a wide pool of staff and students. Students play an active role on the Student Forum, giving voice to SSLP pupils.
