School Structure Agreements

We are writing to inform you of some important developments that mean we must review how our two schools currently operate.

Earlier in the autumn term, the Governing Body and Headteacher were notified by North Yorkshire Council of updated guidance from the Department for Education (DfE).

Legal advice confirmed that this new information is directly relevant to our current Federation arrangements.
