Stronger Together

Red Kite Alliance members have a shared moral purpose to work together to improve the learning and achievement of all the young people in our schools. 

We firmly believe that we are ‘stronger together’ and the partnership and collaboration between staff in our schools enables all our partners to benefit by both contributing to and receiving expertise and support from each other.
