Case study: Collaboration breeds consistency

School improvement Whole-school issues
Collaboration is seen by many as being key to school improvement across our education system. Laura McPhee reports from Hawksmoor Primary School, who have been working in partnership with Morden Mount Primary since 2013

Hawksmoor Primary School and Morden Mount Primary School are both based in the London borough of Greenwich.
Hawksmoor is three forms of entry and, situated in the Moorings Estate in Thamesmead, the school serves a community experiencing high deprivation and has a significantly high proportion of pupils with English as an additional language. Many children experience barriers to learning and Hawksmoor prides itself on being inclusive.

Morden Mount has two forms of entry, and serves a pocket of deprivation just north of Lewisham town centre. With 67 per cent Pupil Premium it is the second-most deprived school in Greenwich. Ninety per cent of pupils have English as an additional language and there is high mobility. However, children make exceptional progress to achieve above national averages.
