7 The strategic objectives exist within the broader national context of the current educational themes which will require consideration and action over the next two years and which are listed below. Resource Implications Academies Agenda A budget reduction over the next three years is certain. The BHS budget for highlights a mismatch between expenditure and revenue based on the current levels of spend and staffing structure. Decisions regarding staffing, curriculum and support, will need reviewing with the budget in mind. Up to 10% of further cuts have been muted over the next three years. One way that the Government have conceived efficiency is through the creation of Multi Academy Trusts. As a good stand-alone Academy we are not at threat of compulsion to join a MAT but nevertheless have examined the pros and cons of such a move. Four choices emerge retain the status quo (for now), create our own MAT, Join a local MAT, join a MAT which doesn t impact on our catchment. As part of our strategic planning, we need to create a proactive plan for the preferred options and when the time feels right take the next decision. This decision will impact across all strategic objectives. Recruitment of Staff At the same time as decreasing the budget, the Government have introduced performance related pay creating an expectation that excellence will be rewarded above and beyond current remuneration. There is a national staffing crisis in Core subjects and competition for good teachers increases cost.
