In 2007 Middleton on the Wolds C of E Primary School federated with another rural school. Beswick and Watton C of E Primary School located six miles away.
When the two schools entered this formal partnership, some people outside our community had a pre-conceived concept that this was just a “money saving” venture, but those within our community especially parents knew we were striving for so much more.
We needed a way of raising educational standards against a background of budget cuts, falling birth rates and possible school closures.
We also needed to be sustainable.
We discovered that in federation we have had an opportunity to consider what we’ve wanted to achieve through partnership and those goals of higher standards, joint staff development, shared resources, economies of scale and sustainability have been achieved.
Throughout this time we have sought to retain the ethos and individual character of each school at the heart of the community.
Betty Lowe – Foundation Governor.
