Rotherham
The Clifton Learning Partnership is a Company Limited by guarantee with no share
capital (Company No. 7566749) and a Registered Charity (Charity registration No.
1142675). Both were incorporated in 2011. The Company and Charity has evolved
from over twelve years of work with the Clifton Learning Community of schools
initially as an Education Action Zone, with, in addition, a multi-disciplinary
Behaviour Improvement Programme Team, which included roles such as Community
Development Tutor, Family Learning Tutor, and Mental Health Practitioner. As the
political climate changed in 2010 the key stakeholders at the time; the Head
Teachers from the nine schools with whom the EAZ worked, requested that the
prudently managed funds from the time of the EAZ be invested into the local
community in the most sustainable way possible, in order to help and develop the
local community to be stronger, more resilient and to have equality of
opportunity. They recognised our ability to work with key agencies outside the
education structures to provide additionality for families and children beyond
the school gates. In 2011 the Clifton Learning Partnership charity was formed.
We are intensely proud of our ability to change, grow and develop; responding to
a rapidly changing political climate; and continuing to address the presenting
need in a form that is most appropriate. We have always been innovative and
taken opportunities. Our practice as an EAZ was celebrated nationally, and it
was at this time that we developed our highly successful EAZMAG, which we now
sell nationally, with all profits coming to Clifton Learning Partnership.
