An official partnership group of education providers ( Higher Education institutions, vocational colleges ), employers, secondary schools and County Councils (local government) in South West Wales would like to identify similar ways of working in partnerships to deliver post -16 education ( non-compulsory education) across specific geographical areas ( called Clusters) to develop a Erasmus+ Key Action 2 - strategic Partnerships bid ( deadline: 30 April).

Shared working to deliver the Curriculum for 14-19 year old students in Carmarthenshire:

In Carmarthenshire, there is longstanding partnership working between the local authority, further and higher education establishments, employers and secondary schools in developing the work of the four 14-19 clusters. Three of these clusters are based on geographical areas and there is one cross county cluster for Welsh language education and training provision.
The most recent Government inspection of these clusters identified the partnership arrangements as providing excellent practice in the education sector in Wales.

They successfully promote co-operation and remove unhelpful competition between providers. They also enable school governors, the further education college, employers and the local authority to plan, monitor and resource an effective 14-19 curriculum that meets the needs of learners in their clusters very well.
Cross authority collaboration makes sure that learners in a rural area benefit from a wide curriculum choice.

In Pembrokeshire there is almost ten year-long history of post-16 collaboration between the 8 secondary schools, local authority and Pembrokeshire College.
Two federations have been set up in the north and south of the county. The federations give learners access to a broad range of general and vocational post-16 courses, and this way of working in partnership is the way the education sector work in Pembrokeshire.

Approximately 200 learners per year access provision in more than one centre, with aligned timetables and transport infrastructure enabling learners to move between centres on a daily basis. The federation approach has benefitted learner choice and outcomes.
