Our schools are very close to each other. We believe that the new school will benefit from being linked to Parkside and Coleridge, their specialist facilities and courses, and our existing staff and students
Governing Body
The governing body is responsible for the quality of education in our schools, and for making sure they continue to get better. The governing body consists of parent representatives, staff, and representatives appointed by the County Council and local business.
Our staff
The Parkside Federation is led by Executive Principal Andrew Hutchinson and a highly qualified team with experience of both education and business. The team manages Parkside and Coleridge and its leadership of both schools has been described by Ofsted as 'outstanding'. We are confident that they will provide the first class leadership that the new school will need as part of a growing community.
All staff work for the Federation, and so we are able to provide a high quality education for students at both our schools. Ofsted rates our teaching as good to outstanding and this expertise will ensure that education at the new school will be equally good from the day it opens.
Our students
We are proud of our students. In our view the best way to find out about a school is to ask the young people who learn there. You may already know someone who goes to Parkside or Coleridge, but if you don't this link will help you make your own mind up.
