These schools work very closely to provide:

• an enhanced curriculum for the children.
• shared expertise between the staff.
• opportunities for peer groups to work in large numbers.
• professional support for staff.

It is an expectation that all children at this school will, at some stage, work in other schools within the group and be taught from any of these schools, sharing the curriculum with their peer group. The Cluster Group receives funding from the County for Cluster Group co-operation and some costs for co-operative activities are met from this fund.
