Word versions of a cover note setting out changes in the FPN guidance for 2006-07, as well as a suggested text for local authorities and maintained schools, and one for City Technology Colleges, Academies and Non-maintained Special Schools.
Financial benchmarking
Financial benchmarking in schools is about more than just effectively managing the budget. It is about achieving Best value, the Government policy designed to further continuous improvement in locally provided services, including education.
Fitness to teach
Teachers and those training to become teachers need a sufficient standard of health and physical fitness to enter or remain in the teaching profession. Teaching is a demanding yet rewarding career and teachers have a duty of care for the pupils in their charge.
Flexibility in the national curriculum
Head teachers have considerable scope to develop their own curriculum within and around the national curriculum framework.
Foreign language assistants
The FLA scheme offers an invaluable resource for the promotion and support of language teaching and learning and FLAs can contribute greatly to all aspects of a language department's work by providing authentic native language support.
Freedom of information for schools
The Freedom of Information (FoI) Act requires all public authorities, including all maintained schools, to set out in an approved ‘publication scheme’ what information they hold and where and how the information can be accessed by an interested individual.
Fruit in schools
The National School Fruit Scheme is a Department of Health led initiative, which will entitle 4 to 6 year olds and 3 year olds registered at schools, with a free piece of fruit every day.
