IFPT Harmonisation Framework

Inspiring Futures Partnership Trust knows that individual academies flourish when their leaders are empowered to respond directly to the needs of the children, families and staff they directly serve. We also understand that organisational effectiveness and efficiency can be secured though shared systems and structures. IFPT's Harmonisation Model below gives a summary of how we operate under the following headings:
  • Standardised - IFPT systems and structures that must be followed by all
  • Aligned - IFPT activities that must happen but individual academies decide their own personalised approach
  • Autonomy - Complete independence and responsibility at academy level
