Celebrating a new partnership

West Sussex Alternative Provision College (WSAPC) and Olive Academies Trust are thrilled to announce that they have entered into a one-year partnership. This is an exciting development, which sees two strong organisations sharing expertise and experience to benefit students and staff alike. The partnership provides a fantastic opportunity to focus on leadership development and the quality of education provision across both organisations, with a view to identifying, refining and embedding best practice across their academies.
