Community & Partnerships

Silverhill is not part of a Multi Academy Trust. We are Local Authority maintained and we see no significant benefit, in the current educational climate, to join a MAT.

However, we are part of a number of collaborative partnerships which prove to be beneficial to both raising standards for our children and furthering professional development and career opportunities for our staff.

These are our partnerships:
