Abstract

This article examines the nature of governance in the Co-operative Academies Trust which comprises academy schools in England sponsored by the Co-operative Group. The historical and political context for the study is summarised, the research methodology is explained, and data are drawn upon from one case study academy. Structural, organisational and operational deviations of the Co-operative Academies Trust are outlined. The findings illustrate a values-led, branding message and strategic identity, and the placement of senior Co-operative Group employees in the Local Governing Body to ensure the strategic direction is focused upon co-operative values and community. Operationally, the engagement with stakeholders privileges a rational-goal approach, but signs of cultural shift are occurring concurrently with parent forum members demanding deliberation and voice in decision-making.
合作院校信托中的价值观主导治理、家长和社区参与:新自由主义教育背景下的另一种选择?
本文考察了合作学院信托基金的治理性质,该信托基金由合作集团赞助的英国学院组成。总结了研究的历史和政治背景,解释了研究方法,并从一个案例研究学院提取了数据。概述了合作院校信托基金的结构、组织和运作偏差。调查结果说明了以价值观为导向的品牌信息和战略身份,以及在地方管理机构中安置合作社集团高级员工,以确保战略方向集中在合作社价值观和社区上。从操作上讲,与利益相关者的接触是一种合理的目标方法,但文化转变的迹象正在与家长论坛成员要求在决策中进行审议和发表意见同时发生。
