			<h3>What is a Federation?</h3>		
		<p>The Federation of Independent Schools (TFoIS) has been formed whereby a number of schools have come together for collaboration purposes, but remain independent. The FoIS  network seeks to drive forward partnerships.  This is sometimes referred to as “soft” federation, which is in effect a collaboration; This is a less formal arrangement in which the governing bodies remain separate.   Through the Federation, member schools have access to a range of school improvement  and support services.</p>
