Welcome to the FST Federation, where three small rural schools come together to create a unique and enriching educational experience. As the Executive Headteacher, I am proud to lead this collaborative initiative that embodies the values of patience, love, joy, and self-control. Our federation is dedicated to fostering an inclusive education system where every child is valued and supported.

Our Unique Selling Points:

• Nursery Provision From 3 years old: We offer an exceptional nursery education with qualified teachers in each of our schools, providing a fabulous transition to full time schooling. Children can attend up to full time in exchange for 15 hours funding.
• Educational Visits and Trips: We believe in learning beyond the classroom. Our students benefit from regular educational visits and trips that enhance their understanding of the world around them.

• Residential Programs: Starting from Year 3, our students participate in residential programs that promote independence, teamwork, and personal growth.
• Broad Curriculum: We go beyond the national curriculum to offer a diverse range of learning opportunities, ensuring that each child's education is comprehensive and well-rounded.
• Specialist Teaching: Our federation boasts specialist teachers in drama and music, providing our students with exceptional opportunities to develop their creative talents.
• Physical Education: With dedicated PE coaches, we ensure that physical activity and sports are an integral part of our students' lives. We take part in regular competitive sports and host federation sports enhancement days.

Benefits of the Federation:

• Skill Sharing: The federation model allows our wider team to share their skills and expertise, enhancing the educational experience for all students.
• Wider Peer Groups: Children benefit from interacting with a larger and more diverse group of peers, fostering social development and friendship.
• Increased Opportunities: The combined resources of our schools provide more opportunities for extracurricular activities, academic enrichment, and personal development.

Our Nurturing Environment: We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Our dedicated Pastoral Lead ensures that the emotional and social needs of our students and families are met.

Community and Parental Involvement: We value strong partnerships with parents and the community. Parental involvement is encouraged and welcomed, as we believe that collaboration between home and school is crucial for the success of our students. Additionally, our wrap-around care services support busy families by providing a safe and nurturing environment for children before and after school.

Church Links: Our federation maintains strong links with the local churches, integrating values and community spirit into our daily activities and fostering a sense of belonging and moral development in our students.

At FST Federation, we are more than just a group of schools; we are a community dedicated to providing an exceptional and holistic education for every child. We would love to  show you around any of our schools, please feel free to contact us to arrange this. Thank you for considering our schools for your child's educational journey.
