Welcome to Sharples School Collaborative Partner page, which has been created to facilitate the development of the School’s partnerships.

The School has historically been involved in many successful collaborations, both locally and nationally and continues to build on this success. We recognise the many benefits partnerships provide, such as enriching the curriculum; facilitating entry into higher and further education; and the provision of work-based learning.

Collaborations not only provide a diverse learning environment but also increased educational opportunities for pupils, as well as raising the profile of both Sharples School and partner. The partners we have recently worked with include:

The Bolton Learning Partnership is an ambitious educational collaboration which consists of twenty five secondary schools working together, alongside Bolton Council to support school improvement and provide the best opportunities for young people in the borough

The DofE charity works with organisations across the UK to help young people gain essential skills, experience, confidence and resilience to successfully navigate adult life.
