Academies with a military ethos

The Government is interested in exploring how academies and Free Schools can use their freedoms to foster a military ethos and raise standards.

There are a variety of ways in which a school can foster a military ethos including:

• bringing Armed Service leavers in as teachers or mentors through Troops to Teachers;
• opening a cadet unit within a school; or
• using the provision 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 please visit the New Schools Network website.
