PRESS RELEASE : Creating a military ethos in academies and free schools [November 2012]
The press release issued by the Department for Education on 15 November 2012.
There are a variety of ways in which an academy or free school can promote a military ethos including:
- bringing Armed Service leavers in as teachers or mentors through Troops to Teachers
- opening a cadet unit within a school
- using the services of groups like SkillForce and Challenger Troop CIC
We are also looking for parties interested in opening a new school with a military ethos. For help and advice about completing a free school application visit the New Schools Network website.
