The Askham Partnership was formed in 2002 with representation from Little St Mary's, St Mary’s CE Primary School, Askham Bryan Childcare Centre, Askham Grange Nursery, St Mary's Out of School Club.

The City of York started the Partnerships in 1999 because of the government initiatives in wrap around care.

The group meets regularly to share good practice, develop staff training and share resources. The Lead Teacher for the Askham Partnership is Mrs Jayne Boast, our Foundation/Key Stage 1 Coordinator.

The Partnership has given us…

• A forum for sharing information
• Support in good practice
• Sharing of knowledge during training sessions
• Strong community links
• Ensures smooth transition of the children between settings
