Confront the Brutal Facts…(Yet never lose faith.)
‘You must maintain unwavering faith that you can, and will, prevail in the end – regardless of difficulties. AND at the same time have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.’
Jim Collins – Good to Great

‘I define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.’
‘Vulnerability is based on mutuality and requires boundaries and trust.’
Brene Brown – Daring Greatly
![Page 8: Federation - leading to academy status?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a87550346895dc7f861/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vulnerability is key…‘If you want a culture of creativity and innovation, where sensible risks are embraced… start by developing the ability of leaders to cultivate an openness to vulnerability in their teams. And this, paradoxically perhaps, requires first that they are vulnerable themselves.’
![Page 9: Federation - leading to academy status?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a87550346895dc7f861/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So what’s stopping the risk?‘The secret killer of innovation is shame. You can’t measure it, but it is there. That deep fear we all have of being wrong, of being belittled and of feeling less than, is what stops us taking the very risks required to move our organisations forward.’

First the who… then the what.“Look, I don’t really know where
we should take this bus. But I know this much: If we get the right people on the bus, the right people in the right seats, and the wrong people off the bus, then we’ll figure out how to take it someplace great.”
Jim Collins – Good to Great

Governance is the management of an organisation such that its stated standards and ethos of practice are
constantly maintained and, where possible, improved.
![Page 33: Federation - leading to academy status?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a87550346895dc7f861/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1. Confirm implementation of National and legal educational requirements by reviewing progress and standards in the school based on the Head teacher's reports and independent assessments.
2. Review financial management and resource use through appropriate sub committees.
3. Be involved in staff appointments and most disciplinary procedures. Take on (as individuals) responsibilities in specific areas (Numeracy, SEND, Literacy, IT Safeguarding, Community relations).
![Page 34: Federation - leading to academy status?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a87550346895dc7f861/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
5. Provide general support for the school, celebrate excellence, ensure a safe environment for the children (and staff), maintain morale and nurture Christian values.
6. Be constantly aware of changes in the National and local educational environment and devise future development for the federated schools.

1. The model is simple.
2. lt provides appropriate groups for themanagement of both local and Federationissues.
3. Communication throughout is goodbecause of the cascade of representation.
4. There is a rapid response forum.
5. The model can accommodate theaddition of a third (or fourth) school
