School to School Support

Where School to School Support deployments are already underway System leaders should follow their own schools’ guidance around COVID-19, and respect the guidance of the school they are supporting.

We understand that System leaders’ capacity to offer support to other schools, given the current situation, will be reduced as they are needed to lead their own schools, this may change daily.

If system leaders feel they do have the capacity to offer their support over the phone/online, and this meets the needs outlined in the brokerage agreement then support can be offered.

If the receiving school feel they are in a position to accept this support then it can go ahead. If they are not in a position to receive it then the support must be postponed.

In terms of claiming for support, the system leader will need to provide evidence that that quality support has been undertaken.

We urge that good communication between the two schools is key to ensure all parties understand each other’s position and positive relationships are maintained.
