School & Academy Structures New
A brief history of the last 20 years and the huge change in structures, breakdown of LAs, creation of Trusts and what that means in terms of accountability, stability, and school leadership. The differences between Grammars, Academies, All through trusts, Chains/trusts that transcend region etc., LA schools, faith schools (VA and VC), Free schools, and FE colleges. We will explore how best to work with these schools- do they have partnerships with other institutions (Universities, businesses, charities)? The benefits of working across a trust rather than just with one school How to overcome challenges faced by schools to ensure meaningful, long-term relationships?
Led by CAO's acting Deputy Head, Paul Potter. Paul is a former Vice Principal of a large state comprehensive (11-18) school and Head of Sixth Form.
