Strategic Direction

The Riverside Federation is seeking Federation growth. We firmly believe, in order to ensure the sustainability of small schools in a challenging education climate, that there is considerable strength in expanding our Federation.

Our Strategic Vision

In our growth model we aim to:

• open up opportunities to share management, governing body responsibility and curriculum expertise
• facilitate the release of our strongest school leaders to offer support across the Federation
• give further emphasis to strategic leadership and management structures; strengthening the strategic direction
• reduce the cost burden on each individual school
• create new opportunities for staff to work together and reduce isolation, sharing best practice and learning from each other
• have increased opportunities for moderating and benchmarking: assessment; data; finances
• secure future growth/succession planning
