Welcome to Connected Futures Partnership

Dear all,

Welcome to Connected Futures Partnership. Our schools and family services work together to support children’s learning, development and wellbeing, while each setting keeps its own identity and close links with its community.

Our partnership includes Dorothy Gardner, Mary Paterson and Tachbrook nursery schools; Essendine, Hallfield, Oxford Gardens and Queen’s Park primary schools; Queen’s Park Family Hub; and Bayswater Children’s Centre.

We value every child’s interests, strengths and potential. Our teams work with families to provide safe, welcoming and inclusive environments, with high expectations for every child.

Our schools and family services offer different provision, opening times and support. Please visit the individual setting’s website or contact its team for details.

We look forward to working with you to give your child a positive start and support their next steps. If you have any questions, please contact us.
