I'm still going to be pushing it next year, but I'm going to try a range of approaches. The reality is it's going to take much longer than two years!

This whole sharing/collaborating thing is hugely difficult, none the more so for the fact that we are often creating artificial sharing environments which teachers do not see as authentic. However, while this is true, the schools have agreed to cluster, so it is not just your responsibility to make collaboration happen. It is also the responsibility of the senior leadership team in each school. The SLT signed up to the cluster, they were not forced to, and you certainly did not force them. So the question I think you need to ask of the SLT in each school is what are they doing to support collaboration and sharing within the cluster Thanks for this Darren.
