Answer

The Sharing Works policy defines Shared Education as sustained provision of opportunities for young people to learn together. Within this context, it is for schools to determine the frequency of contact taking into account the practicalities of delivery with their partner school(s). There is no 'one size fits all' frequency requirement.
