Our 16 schools and 3 Children’s Centres have been working collaboratively for over a decade to enhance the educational opportunities and outcomes for every child in the Confederation.
We are well placed to meet the demands of the current educational landscape, with its increasing focus on school to school support, having worked this way for so many years.

The proposed model is a cooperative learning Trust, which will offer benefits for all of the Confederation schools.
