Work with other organisations

- minutes from a supplementary school forum
- letters and requests from parents
- Example of working in partnership with another organisation (email, press release, report etc).

National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) - Collaboration has been suggested as one response to the recession, but voluntary and community organisations should ensure that they are exploring collaboration or merger from a position of strength. They should plan early, identify potential partners, and make informed decisions about whether and how to proceed with collaborative projects. For more information visit the NCVO website: www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/advice-support/collaborative-working
Our Languages - There are plenty of reasons for mainstream and complementary schools to work together in partnership. Both sectors share the common goal of educating the child. Working in partnership means that more can be achieved for the child’s education while gaining greater support from various groups within the community.

Birmingham Russian School - A great website which encourages an effective learning environment by stating it's aims and methodology clearly, lots of information for parents etc. Parents receive a text to alert them to new information which would traditionally be sent home with the child. This helps to cut paper and printing costs and letting them access information in Russian or English via the website.
