Relationship with Leading Edge Partnership

I've added a reference to the Leading Edge Partnership article. I can find very little online about this programme and have left the notability tag in place. I'm wondering whether Leading Edge Partnership schools were a subset of or development of the Specialist schools programme, and whether the brief content on that article should be merged into this one.

The Leading Edge Partnership does indeed seem to be a subset of the specialist schools programme as, according to the 2009/2010 annual SSAT report, it is described as being part of the high performing specialist schools initiative, which was itself a subset of the specialist schools programme. As the Leading Edge article lacks appropriate notability a merger does indeed look like the best course of action. ThatRandomGuy1 (talk) 12:23, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
