The Wickford Federation is made up of Wickford Primary and Beauchamps High school and came into effect from 14th March 2022.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

What is a Federation?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A federation is a formal and legal agreement between schools to operate with a single governing body. The decision to federate is made by the governing bodies of each school following a consultation process with key partners such as parents, staff and the Local Authority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the potential benefits of a federation have already been seen as the schools have had a close working relationship for some time, however Governors of both schools believe that a formal collaboration will further increase benefits to the pupils by enhancing educational provision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Federation is a mechanism aimed primarily at reinforcing leadership and governance of, and collaboration and co-operation between, schools.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two schools remain as separate legal establishments with their individual identities. There will continue to be an OFSTED inspection in each school, results will be published for each school and their funding will be determined separately.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Federate?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
