Primary Strategy Learning Networks
What are Primary Strategy Learning Networks?
 Groups of schools working together to improve children's learning
Schools working together in networks can add significantly to teachers' professional development and children's learning.
Schools involved in networks have seen that:
- networks broaden the teacher expertise and learning opportunities available to pupils;
- networks provide a direct mechanism for sharing expert teacher practice;
- networks provide the diversity, flexibility and economy that no single school can offer;
- networks nurture creativity, risk-taking and innovation to improve learning and teaching.
The purpose of the Primary Strategy Learning Networks is to ensure that every teacher in every primary school, presently in a network or not, has the opportunity to work within a group of schools with the aim of strengthening pupil learning and implementing effective continuing professional development programmes.
Why Networks?
 Evidence suggests that schools working and learning collaboratively offers an enormous opportunity for the improvement of teaching and learning throughout the country. Learning networks can unleash the collective potential of schools and teachers, so raising standards for pupils.
