Once you have registered, you need to write a brief description of your school and the kind of partnerships you are looking for. This is how other schools will find you, so it's best not to make your description too wordy. Here is ours:
Hello from Moorside Primary School, Droylsden, Manchester! LOOKING FOR PARTNERS IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA!! We are an urban school on the outskirts of the City of Manchester, UK. We are a relatively large school and currently have 420 pupils from age 3-11. Moorside Primary is a very forward thinking, happy school where children enjoy and achieve. Over the past 2 years we have had to focus mainly on English and Maths. We now have a particular focus in developing the Art curriculum. We are also trying to get our Eco award, and have recently been awarded the International Schools Award. We are an experienced twinning school with links in Africa, Europe and Asia. We are very excited about learning about a different culture and about sharing ideas. We hope to find partner schools that will help us to bring our curriculum even more alive and share ideas and experiences with us. We are interested in developing ICT links (emailing, video conferencing, etc). We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Make sure you use an email address which you check daily for this, as often schools will send partnership requests to multiple schools. If you don't respond promptly, they will find someone else to work with.
It's also worth regularly re-saving your description, as this will then bump it to the top of the schools list.
When searching for partner schools, be aware that you may send emails to multiple schools and only get a few replies. Don't be disheartened by this - there are so many schools on there, you will find a partner.
