Federated school
Description
This programme looks at a federated group of secondary schools. Is this a way of tackling the national shortage of headteachers? The South Maidstone Federation consists of three secondary schools. Each school has its own head; together, the schools are overseen by an executive headteacher.We spend time with the head of school at Cornwallis School, one of the schools in the federation. How is her post preparing her for full-scale future headship? Beyond the federation, we spend a day with the newly appointed head of Walmer Science College. He was once a head of school in the federation and has recently moved to his new post. How did being a head of school in the federation prepare him for the present post?
