Federations in Devon

2011-12-15T09:14:00.001Z

Currently there are 24 Federations involving Devon Maintained schools. Federation brings the opportunity to secure strong, strategic leadership and work differently to deliver 21st century schooling. Schools within a federation come together to share a single governing body but retain their separate legal status, budget, etc.

The Devon Federation Open week as held in November when 14 Federations opened their doors to visitors interested to learn how federations work and about the advantages for the education of children in these schools. The event was well received: 100% rated the event as good or very good and 100% would recommend it to other governors considering federation in the future.

One visitor wrote: 'An effective way to find out about the process of federating and the pros and cons from people with experience.'

We are planning to hold a similar event next year so put the date in your diary : 12 - 16 November 2012. If you would like to receive detailed information as it becomes available email us with a request to be placed on the mailing list.

“As our school’s results have improved so much so fast, the next challenge facing our school is to decide where we want to go next. How do you improve a school that is already one of the most improved in the country? I feel that this is a question that any possible future headteacher must be prepared to answer….I feel that anyone considering the job of headteacher at St James must enjoy working with intelligent young adults, and really believe in what they are doing to help the students. A teacher never knows the reaches of their influence and secondary school is one of the most important stages in someone’s life.”

admin.headships@devon.gov.uk

Clovelly is one of the most scenic schools in Devon with breathtaking views. The post will offer interesting and rewarding challenges to the appointee. We are a small school with 14 on roll at the present time and expect a further 3 pupils in January 2010. It is anticipated that we shall emerge from SCC, or TISP at the end of 2009, but due to our small size we are seeking to enter federation by academic year 2010-11. For the intervening two terms a strong leader is sought, capable of capitalizing on the excellent work that has been done in raising the school out from its intervention status, and able to both encourage and develop those aspects identified as satisfactory and ensuring the weaker areas continue to improve, and that slippage is eliminated.
In return, the school will offer the opportunity to work in a close-knit community, actively supported by a positive and forward looking Governing body, with a truly family atmosphere. You will be supporting two Teachers, two TA’s, and have the support of a full time bursar. You will be helping to lead the school into federation to ensure its long term viability, and future challenges. The post is one which offers a great career development for head teacher at the beginning of their role but would equally give an experienced practitioner an opportunity to continue to develop the school.
Applicants are advised that this is a teaching position and those seeking secondment must ensure that they have agreement in principle from their governing body to apply for this post.
