The IAA is delighted to have established a strategic alliance with Connecting Learning. Our partnership will add an essential element to the support available to new and existing academies in ensuring high quality learning experiences for all their students and achieving the greatest impact from available resources. Academies have always been at the vanguard of the education system in terms of developing best learning practice and this partnership will help to maintain that position by providing important development opportunities for leaders and practitioners. Our respective organisations share a firm belief in the strength and effectiveness of professional networks and we are proud to be able to build on existing, longstanding partnerships in order to benefit the workforce and the children and young people whom we serve.
