Aims

Inner Layer Benefits

With greater appreciation by teaching staff of the particularities of each educational phase achieved through shared curricula, shared facilities and sharing of good teaching and learning practice, we expect an overall rise in standards of educational attainment of students. This will be measured by progress of the pilot group from years 6 through to 10.
With Dartington Primary as a training school, KEVICC as a specialist Performing Arts school and Bidwell Brook as a Special school, we see this Federation as providing highly attractive resources and opportunities for breadth of teaching experience for a) teachers in initial training and b) professionals in their continuing development. We could reasonably expect this Federation to attract interest nationwide and beyond.
The role of the Teaching Assistant will be optimised, to become one which itself is more inclusive - both in the lesson planning/assessing and in the interaction between teacher, TA and pupil.
Optimised use of shared facilities both for the Federation member schools themselves and potentially for the wider Devon community
