The Thanet Excellence Cluster ends on 22nd July 2011 but the schools will continue to

embed and further enhance the practice we have developed and established over the

past six years.  We would like to thank all those who have participated in, contributed

to and supported our work in putting 'EQ at the heart of our schools' and 'working to

raise achievement, realise potential and promote wellbeing'.  A report of the work of

the Excellence Cluster will be available towards the end of July.

Excellence Clusters are part of the government's Excellence in Cities programme for raising standards.

The Strands of the programme are:    

     EQ: Emotional Intelligence

     Gifted & Talented

     Learning Mentors

     Learning Support Units

     Behaviour Improvement 

The work of the Thanet Excellence Cluster is lead by head teachers and the project director and by co-ordinators from each of the schools.

Staff development and training are important features of our work, including accredited training for Learning Mentors and Co-ordinators and a certificate in Emotional Literacy.

Good practice is shared across the Excellence Cluster and beyond through our website and through meetings, workshops and conferences.
