How do you feel about the school changing its category and acquiring a Trust?

How do you feel about the proposed partners in the Trust?

If you have answered "I am concerned" or have ideas of other ideas for potential partners, please elaborate below (please type "N/A" if you support the proposed partners)

How do you feel about the vision set out for the new Trust? (summary below)
The proposed Trust has a vision to make the education system more inclusive. It wants to add more value through a holistic approach, focusing on young people’s development beyond just academic achievement. As part of this strong partnership, we want to:

Build life-changing communities and raise aspirations and opportunities for pupils in Enfield

Strengthen existing partnerships and encourage reciprocal effort in order to develop a sustainable self-improving schools’ system and long-lasting relationships in the community

Ensure that local schools remain accountable to local people

Together, our work will focus on:

Further improving the quality of learning and teaching

Promoting the wellbeing of our young people

Building on the advantages of sharing resources and expertise

Improving value for money and economies of scale in a time of real terms reduction in funding

Supporting and enhancing training opportunities and personal development for current and future leaders

These strategic goals will be addressed through our Trust Strategic Plan which will be based on regular audits of strengths and areas for development within the Trust. We believe that the values of a co-operative schools’ trust match our existing values but also enables us to be part of a wider national network of schools with complementary values. This ensures we are outward looking, in our drive to make all our local schools the very best they can be for the young people we serve.

This vision seems right to me to be right for the school and the proposed Trust I do not think _____ should be a priority in the vision because _____ I would like to see _____ included in the vision because _____

If you have answered "I do not think ___ should be included" or "I would like to see ___" please elaborate below (please type "N/A" if you support the vision)

In addition to a minority of governors being appointed by the Trust, the cooperative model gives all stakeholders - parents/carers, staff, children and the local community an opportunity to meet as part of a ‘Trust Forum’ (two or three times a year) to discuss the work of the Trust so the community have a greater ‘say’ in the direction of local education.

Yes - the ‘Trust Forum’ sounds like a good idea I would be interested in being part of the Trust Forum or I would not want to attend but would be interested in what is discussed - I would like the following to be discussed__________ No, I do not consider the Trust Forum a good idea because___________

If you have any other comments, concerns or suggestions that we should think about during the course of the process to change status and form a trust, please add them on the following page. Thank you for taking the time to complete this response form.
