“Poor behaviour during unstructured time is becoming a big cause for concern and is very stressful. It is heart-breaking to see the damage being done to the school and it is hard to deal with rude, defiant students on a daily basis.� WIA Teacher
What is the aim of the Ridings’ Federation of Academies?
Aim of the Ridings’ Federation:
For WIA to become at least a Good school, and to help YIA (including WPP) become at least a Good school, as quickly as possible. Your child’s future depends upon it
Attract and retain great staff
My role… Maximise the chances of your child realising their dreams and ambitions
…to rebuild the reputation of Winterbourne International Academy and the Ridings’ Federation

‘Destination’: at least Good
All Perspectives
TRFA academies are not the same as each other but they work together to serve their local community, achieving more together, and at a quicker rate, than they could if working in isolation. Spur each other on not wear each other out.

My role… “At the Department for Education my officials talk to those schools doing it well - to understand the key to their success. And the one thing I’ve heard over and over again is that the best schools embed character in everything they do.” Nicky Morgan MP, Jan 2016
