Not Freedom from Failure But Freedom with Accountability.

Freedom Professional freedom for teachers and schools to tailor learning to the needs of individual young people The people best placed to make judgements about the learning needs of individual young people are those who work with them most closely.Within a framework of clear national standards and local authority support,teachers and other professionals in schools must have the freedom to exercise their professional judgement to deliver excellent learning and teaching.We will act to give them that freedom.
