Who Can Join the Roots Federation?
Leading a school has never been a greater challenge with budget constraints, rising levels of need and retainment and recruitment challenges. Schools need strong leadership to ensure that the children in their care continue to thrive. At Roots Federation we can support in a range of ways:

We can provide reviews/audits to identify your school/setting’s strengths and priorities for development. We can then work in collaboration to achieve identified improvements.
-
We offer a soft collaboration whereby your school continues to be autonomous but receives the Federation support in identified areas.
-
Our experienced governors can work to strengthen your governing body and provide interim support in times of challenge.
-
We have the leadership flexibility and expertise to take on the leadership of your school for an interim period.
-
We can welcome your school/setting into Roots Federation.
