Federation News

We are delighted to announce that following consultation the federation process between Bessemer and Keyworth Primary School was agreed at a meeting on 23^rd April 2019 and a new Governing body elected.

What does this mean for our school?

The move from Soft to Hard Federation means NO CHANGES to:

• Name of our school
• Uniform
• Sarah as Executive Head Teacher
• Leadership and staff
• Funding and budget
• Teaching
• Admissions
• Ofsted inspections or existing Good rating
• School policies and procedures

As a Hard Federation we will continue to:

• Share resources
• Share expertise and experience across all areas of the schools
• Share successful policies
• Share best practice
• Offer each other advice and guidance
• Share staff training
• Keep our staff as opportunities for staff development are doubled
• Have one Governing Body instead of two
• Use our two separate budgets more efficiently to share some costs for greater flexibility and impact
