The Story of ‘BEST’Setting the Vision & Working Across Schools
What is a Trust?Why ‘go Trust’?
Reflections on Central Beds
• BEST – a natural progression from Learning Communities and the Pyramid working
• A Deputy Head was seconded and paid for by the Upper School for a year
• Endless meetings to explain the Trust and what it means• Established with the Upper, all 3 Middles, and only 6 of
the 18 Lowers.• Employs a CEO and an administrator now.• Immediate successes – the £2 million bid for a shared
services community facility (nursery, police, medical etc)• UTC, Academy support, lots of competitions,
collaborative learning, services,
• Setting a vision – dig-out your NPQH notes!• Involvement of all but ensure ‘action’• A 0-19 school across different sites with
different ethos• Improving the learning journey and transition• Set up a representative board of trustees• Relations with governors and individual
governing bodies• Based on educational decisions
• A Trust is a legal entity that allows you to collaborate within a secure framework
• Removal of personal relationships
• MUST go Foundation
• Trust is reversible
• How has Trust helped us? Why go Trust?• Think not of what the Trust can do for you..• Bids / Partnerships / Collaboration / Enterprise – Multi-
Services block, Teaching School, UTC, PRU, Extended Schools, Studio Theatre, Laptop classroom, Old Lower School, Academy solicitors / support, Co-op links,
• Shared staffing – Data, Languages, Supply, Drama, across Middle & Upper and across Middles (re-deployment of our ASTs)
• Morally, the right thing for our pupils?
