The outsourcing company Capita is in line to run the government’s national programme to deliver a flexible working “culture change” in schools.
Schools Week understands the private firm is the preferred bidder ahead of schools that have run a similar scheme for the past 18 months.
Eight flexible working ambassador schools helped others to improve their part-time employment offers as part of a £480,000 scheme that ended last month.
The Department for Education has been looking for a contractor to run a roll-out of the programme – to include 12 ambassador schools – until March 2025.
