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 23rd 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
