Description
Summary:Careerwise is the series that throws a magnifying glass over every aspect of a teacher's career. What is a foundation school? And how is it different from other schools? This programme answers these questions, and then looks at the new trust school programme. We hear from staff in two foundation schools in Lincolnshire about how foundation status changed their school and what it's meant for the staff. In the studio, Schools Commissioner Sir Bruce Liddington and Association of Teachers and Lecturers General Secretary Mary Bousted then debate the issues surrounding foundation and trust schools. Finally we travel to Tyneside, to what is going to be one of the first trust schools in the country, finding out what it means to leaders there to be a trust school.
