Admissions furore

Many FASNA members have responded with indignation to the statement by Government ministers that “a significant minority of schools … appear not to be compliant with the Code, of which a disproportionate number are voluntary aided or foundation schools”, which can be found in the recent DCSF press release.

One member, whose school is in one of the three LA areas singled out for criticism, has responded with a press statement entitled "Head attacks ministers on admissions" (click here).

FOUNDATION AND TRUST SCHOOL STATUS

FASNA is now working in a consortium with the Specialist Schools & Academies Trust and the Youth Sport Trust to advise and support schools considering Foundation and/or Trust status. Information about the support is available from the Trust schools website at www.trustandfoundationschools.org.uk. To access this support please contact the Trust and Foundation Schools Partnership via the website or by phone at 020 7802 0967 or by e-mail to trustschools@ssatrust.org.uk.

If you are interested in Foundation status only please contact FASNA direct by phone at 01422 201028 or by e-mail to janette.sharp-tetley@fasna.org.uk.

A Powerpoint file is available to help with making a presentation about Foundation status. To download the file click here.

Information and guidance is also available from the DCSF School Organisation website at http://www.dfes.gov.uk/schoolorg/.
