Background to Our Partnership School
Background to the Partnership
For some time now we have been preparing to bring you exciting news of a new school partnership between our school and Bassa Town Infants. We have established the link through the Waterloo Partnership, in the hope that it will be the beginning of a long lasting relationship between the schools, to develop the learning and teaching that takes place in both communities.
We are joining a number of local primary and secondary schools who are already linked with schools in this area of Sierra Leone as part of The Waterloo Partnership – Waterloo, Crosby with Waterloo, Sierra Leone. The partnership is much more than charity, it is learning about and from each others cultures in as many ways as possible. For more information, view the Waterloo Partnership website here: www.waterloopartnership.co.uk
Where is Sierra Leone and the school?
Sierra Leone is in West Africa and ranks as one of the five poorest countries in the world.
Sierra Leone is the second lowest ranked country on the Human Development Index and seventh lowest on the Human Poverty Index, suffering from corruption and suppression of the press.
