Our Partnerships

The Community Sports Foundation’s Football and Education programmes continue to provide proven pathways for young people, inspired and engaged by football, to achieve their own individual goals. 
The education element of the programme will see students working towards the Cambridge National Extended Diploma in Sport, the equivalent of three full A-levels, ensuring university progression becomes a real option. Over the two-year programme students will cover a variety of different units, which link directly to potential career pathways in the sporting industry.
A comprehensive football coaching programme allows for individual and team development through a series of technical and tactical sessions across the week. Those selected for squads will have the opportunity to represent Norwich City Football Club against other professional clubs.
Students are also supported with their off-field development through the Life Skills Programme, which focuses on topics that complement both the student and programme’s needs. Read more here

Lovell (and Morgan Sindall Construction) will partner with Hellesdon High School and Acle Academy, working purposefully together to support pupils with their learning, personal and academic development to help them to make career choices that are right for the individual, the industry they choose to join and the community in which they live and work.
We have elected to invest time together to enrich the national curriculum for students by providing hands on experience of the industry, exposure to the people who currently work in the industry and guidance on subject choices and their relevance to functions within the industry.
We will work together to support teaching staff and school management teams to develop young adults who are ambitious, clear sighted and inspired by the breadth of career opportunity offer by the construction industry. Read more here
 

Our partnership with NWRFC enables our students from Reception to Year 11 to access high quality coaching, whilst providing an enjoyable experience that goes far beyond just playing rugby. We understand the importance that rugby and regular physical activity plays in improving both the physical and mental health of our students. In addition, the core values that the sport represents are all lifelong skills that we want for all our students. 
The bespoke programme provides a sense of belonging and a clear pathway for our students to progress onto rugby, whether they're playing for fun or through an elite route with the club. Read more here
 

Norwich Theatre have secured a grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to deliver Wise About Words.  The aims of this partnership for Wise About Words are to empower teachers and Senior Leaders working with artists to harness the power of story-sharing and reduce barriers to learning for pupils experiencing disadvantage. Across our primary schools the project will explore the barriers to learning in eight primary schools in urban, rural and coastal locations.  
We are working together to establish a ‘Story-sharing School’ model utilising drama-led practices, which allow pupils to develop literacy skills and their executive functioning skills. 
The project aims to support teacher’s professional development and learning in the delivery of effective arts-based learning in the primary classroom. The project is designed to be immersive and collaborative with the teacher, artists and senior leaders in schools working together as co-learners to improve outcomes for pupils. Read more here
