At Thringstone Primary School, we believe education works best when schools work together. As a stand-alone academy, we choose to work in partnership with others to strengthen practice, develop staff and create richer experiences for our children.
We are proud to be part of the Charnwood and Coalville Primary Partnership, a collaborative network of primary schools committed to improving education across the region. Within this partnership, schools also work together in smaller locality groups. Thringstone Primary School is part of The Collaborative Partnership Charitable Trust (CPCT), which brings together five neighbouring schools to create opportunities for children through local collaborative projects, events and enrichment.
This outward-facing approach helps us remain reflective, connected and ambitious for every child.
Charnwood and Coalville Primary Partnership
The Charnwood and Coalville Primary Partnership (CCPP) is a collaborative network of 13 primary schools across North West Leicestershire and Charnwood, bringing together schools committed to learning from one another and improving outcomes for children.
The partnership includes:
- Whitwick St John the Baptist CE Primary School
- Thringstone Primary School
- New Swannington Primary School
- All Saints CE Primary School
- Warren Hills Community Primary School
- Rendell Primary School
- Hall Orchard CE Primary School
- Burton-on-the-Wolds Primary School
- Hathern Primary School
- Stonebow Primary School
- St Bartholomew's CE Primary School
- Cossington CE Primary School
- Robert Bakewell Primary School
The partnership provides a strong framework for collaboration and school improvement. Headteachers meet regularly to share priorities, reflect on performance and plan joint developments. Dedicated networks for Deputy Headteachers, SENDCos, EYFS leaders and subject leaders enable staff to share expertise, strengthen curriculum design and develop leadership across the partnership.
The partnership also creates opportunities for children through shared sporting events, curriculum projects, transition activities and enrichment experiences, helping them build confidence, develop new friendships and learn alongside children from other schools.
Being part of this wider partnership brings fresh ideas, professional challenge and collective expertise, ensuring we continue to provide the very best education for our children.
The Collaborative Partnership Charitable Trust
The Collaborative Partnership Charitable Trust (CPCT) is one of the locality groups within the Charnwood and Coalville Primary Partnership. Established by local Headteachers in 2012 and registered as a charity in 2022, it brings together five neighbouring schools that work particularly closely together to create opportunities for children within our local community.
The five CPCT schools are:
- Whitwick St John the Baptist CE Primary School
- All Saints CE Primary School
- New Swannington Primary School
- Warren Hills Community Primary School
- Thringstone Primary School
Working at a local level allows us to provide a rich programme of shared experiences for children throughout the year. These include Reception transition events such as the Teddy Bears' Picnic, STEM projects, music days, life skills workshops and sporting festivals that encourage participation, teamwork and friendship.
CPCT also provides valuable opportunities for staff to work together by moderating children's work, sharing effective practice, developing resources and supporting one another through professional dialogue. Headteachers and governors collaborate on safeguarding, self-evaluation and school improvement, ensuring every school benefits from both support and constructive challenge.
This close partnership strengthens our local schools while creating memorable experiences and wider opportunities for the children we serve.
Why it matters
Working in partnership makes our school stronger. It brings new ideas, shared expertise and meaningful opportunities for both children and staff.
The Charnwood and Coalville Primary Partnership gives us access to a broad network of professional knowledge and school improvement. Through The Collaborative Partnership Charitable Trust, we also work closely with neighbouring schools to create exciting opportunities for children within our local community.
Being outward-looking is a deliberate choice, and one that supports our commitment to high expectations, inclusion and continuous improvement as we continue to Believe and Achieve Together.
