Hamer school has a long term history of collaboration involving events for our children and support, challenge and rigour in terms of self-evaluation.

An Annual Events Calendar is compiled each year and different partnership schools take responsibility for organising and hosting different events.  There are 10 primary Schools in the Connect Collaborative:

Hamer

Springside Special School

Marland Hill

Belfield

Heybrook

Lowerplace

St Andrews

Spotland

Norden

Moorhouse

Hamer takes responsibility for organising the Annual School Councils event at Ashworth Valley where the school councils of each partnership school take part in outdoor learning and forest schools activities run by the Hamer HLTA team.  Other schools take responsibility for organising intra-collaborative sporting tournaments such as Girls Football and Boys Football, Hockey, Netball Tournaments, cycling event, Dance and Music Festivals, Gifted and Talented Maths club and Reading University. Hamer School takes full advantage of these so that our children are encouraged to meet with a wide range of children all with a social and professional stake in the Rochdale Community.

Alongside this, our staff benefit from a wide range of CPD, including moderation sessions and professional networking opportunities within their subject.
