St. Thomas a Becket Schools Federation

The Diocese of Arundel and Brighton working in partnership with East Sussex Local Authority have discussed with the Governors of both St. Thomas a Becket Infant and Junior Schools the possibility of forming a Federation between the two schools. The proposal, if agreed, will have the benefit of continuing to develop high quality education in the two schools.

Last week a letter was sent to a number of interested parties including all parents/carers who have children in the schools. This letter sets out more fully the reasons for the proposal to federate and also sets out a range of advantages. The letter also explains how and where responses are to be sent.

Federation essentially means that both schools will continue to be separate establishments but with a shared leadership and management structure at Headteacher and Governing Body levels. It will enhance the quality of education provision in both schools and in no way diminish it.

If you wish to have a copy of the proposal document then please visit the school.
