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:

-
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.
