Our Federation

Deaf Hill and Kelloe Primary Schools became a Federation on 1st September 2019. We were already working closely together and had a shared Headteacher and felt federating would bring us many benefits. It has been a very successful partnership and some of those successes and benefits are outlined below.

For Children:

  • They benefit from a greater variety of teaching expertise, resources, facilities and additional specialist provision which is shared across both schools.
  • Individual schools continue, but with access to a larger range of opportunities.
  • Children have increased opportunities to work with children from the other school.
  • The strong and proven successful leadership of the schools is being utilised and strengthened for the benefit of both schools and their communities.
  • In times of curriculum/school change, a strong Federation is much better placed to manage those changes thus enabling children to receive maximum benefit.

For Staff:

  • Increased opportunities to observe, build, and share best practice through innovative and reflective approaches to education.
  • Developing mutual support across schools.
  • An enhanced Continued Professional Development (CPD) programme.
  • Wider career opportunities and progression at all levels.
  • Access to a greater range of resources and professional support.

Federation Wide:

  • Improved opportunities for the recruitment and retention of outstanding staff; maintaining and developing high quality teaching and learning.
  • The development of a collaborative culture supported by Federation leadership, built on current strengths to manage and sustain in a landscape of ongoing change.
  • A sustainable model with schools remaining at the heart of their local community.
  • An opportunity to rationalise and reduce duplication across multiple sites thereby increasing leadership capacity to develop our role in a school led system.
