Common use of Option of 'associate Clause in Contracts

Option of 'associate. rather than 'full' membership of the partnership It is accepted that some schools may not satisfy all the criteria set out in the Secondary Partnership Agreement at the time they join the partnership; they may wish to contribute to ITT but not be in a position to take on some of the 'full' partnership responsibilities outlined in the agreement. This should in no way deter schools from joining the partnership provided there is evidence that they are working towards meeting these criteria. In such cases 'associate' rather than 'full' partnership status for that school may be decided upon until such time as they are able to meet all partnership criteria. Schools considering joining the partnership on an 'associate' basis should contact the Head of School Partnership to discuss the matter further.
