Joining HART

Screenshot-2020-07-14-at-13.29.43

HART Welcomes new members.  

We have a wide selection of schools from the very small, to the very large, those in more challenging circumstances and rural schools, Church of England and Roman Catholic schools, Community schools and schools within Multi Academy Trusts.  We are a genuine collaboration, working together to improve the quality of education for all pupils.

We make a small annual charge which supports the administration of the alliance, preparation of courses, designing materials, completing trials in schools and providing weekly bulletins to headteachers.  

  • All resources are available to use within your school.

  • Resources/materials are trialled prior to release to ensure that they work and are fit for purpose.

  • Group purchase options are available for trials to reduce prices for schools, particularly federations or very small schools.  Many schools took up the Reading Plus deal two years ago and have benefited from this...see the study HERE


Try Before You Join

We welcome schools to 'try before you join' to see whether the Alliance is a good fit for you and your school and we would be happy to welcome you to our next senior leadership and headteacher meeting.

Please email HART@ycatschools.co.uk to book your place.
