Next Practice in System Leadership - West Wiltshire

Area-wide governance and leadership of 14–19 educational and vocational provision

West Wiltshire Federation of Schools, West Wiltshire


The aspiration here is to create a Company Limited by Guarantee for area-wide 14-19 provision.

West Wiltshire is a relatively low skill, low income rural area with rising numbers of young people not in education, employment or training. Nine specialist secondary schools, an Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties special school and the FE College have been working jointly to develop and deliver a personalised 14-19 curriculum by using a new leadership structure with legal status and a governors' scrutiny group.

The site has appointed a project manager to work for the 10 participating schools and they have used The Bridge Change Leadership Framework to confront the challenges inherent within their work and to make the breakthrough towards new system leadership arrangements.
