Creating a military ethos in academies and free schools
The government is interested in exploring how academies and free schools can use their freedoms to create a military ethos and raise standards.
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.
