This is an interim appointment to take us through the next 18 months. He will provide leadership across the Academy and play an active role in the proposed expansion of the Academy to include other partnership schools. The leadership teams in each individual school will continue to operate in the same way but with an additional level of support and direction toward achieving our long term Academy objective of outstanding Ofsted ratings in all of our schools. Dave Wilson will continue to play an active role within FCC and will remain as the Headteacher. As part of his time will be focused on wider Academy issues, we will ensure the smooth running of FCC on a day-to-day basis through extra responsibilities being given to Mr Proffitt, current Deputy Headteacher. At FCC we are very aware of the high quality education that we provide to our students and we recognise that these organisational changes must not have a negative impact on standards. The school remains committed to continual improvement and we believe that these changes will strengthen our overall leadership. If you have any questions relating to this announcement please let us know by responding to office@fcc.oxon.sch.uk or sending a note to FCC reception. These are exciting times and this is an important step in the development of all schools in the Academy. Best regards, Bob Wintringham Chairman Faringdon Academy of Schools .
