About Us
The Brindishe Federation
Three Schools, One Community
What is a Federation?
Our federation is made up of three schools that have made a formal commitment to work together under a single governing body. This enables our schools to:
- work together efficiently and sustainably to raise standards and outcomes
- improve services and increase opportunities for pupils and staff
- share resources, staff, expertise and facilities
- share knowledge and training opportunities

How do we do this?
As a group of leaders
- Aims to make the most of our shared resources, maintain high expectations and secure high standards in a collaborative way
- Build leadership sustainability and creating opportunities for staff at all levels to receive high quality training and leadership experiences
- Recognise the importance of individuality, spontaneity and creativity in developing innovation
- We seek to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of each school by capitalising on centralised services and sharing systems and procedures
- Offer excellent professional development for current practitioners, leaders and future recruits to the profession
In partnership with each other
- Work in partnership, pool our expertise and resources to achieve collectively what we may not be able to achieve individually
- Promote a collaborative approach whilst developing the capacity of each school to serve its own community
- We have developed approaches which we know make the most significant impact on pupil outcomes
As a community
- Staff, pupils and families have opportunities for growth through links with our partners, schools and a wide range of enrichment activities
The Federation Governors
The Brindishe Schools have one Governing Body who meet 6 times a year. The Governing Body is made up of a number of governors including 2 parents from across the three schools.
Any parent/carer of the Brindishe Schools is welcome to join the meeting as an observer. Please email the school office for dates, times and locations of the meetings and to notify of us of your attendance.
Copies of the minutes can also be made available. If you would like a copy of the minutes from any of the meetings, please email the school office.
