New leadership models for a 0–19 federated school serving a dynamic multi-ethnic community
Central Leeds Learning Federation, Leeds
A hard federation of two highly challenged inner city secondary schools is implementing a new leadership and governance structure across a broader 0-19 federated school, with strong internal and external community engagement, aiming for enhanced achievement levels across all five ECM outcomes.
To achieve this, they have joined together to form a soft federation involving a range of education and voluntary sector partners. These include the primary school which shares the new campus with one of the secondary schools. They intend, through extensive consultation with stakeholder groups across the schools and in the local community, to develop a new governance and leadership structure.
The executive headteacher will then increasingly concentrate on strategic and business issues in order for the headteachers of the component schools to focus on teaching and learning. These approaches have opened up significant new possibilities for leadership across the federation, for a new community vision and for wider service involvement with the federation.
The project is well networked with other sites and has actively utilised tools and learning events to advance the work. An extensive consultation exercise to engage staff, students, parents and the community is planned following sustained engagement with The Leadership and Governance Landing Pad.
