community where pupils can achieve, be
successful and equipped with life-long learning
skills
Inspirational teaching and learning
Innovative ways of working
Developing and supporting pupils and parents
Making a positive contribution to community
improvement and inter-school links
 
What is an academy ?
 
Academies are state-funded schools that are
not accountable to the Local Authority
Academies have greater choice with regards
to curriculum and finance
A Multi-Academy Trust is not a sponsored
academy ; our schools were approached by
the DfE as a result of our excellent work and
reputation
It is the expectation of the Department for
Education that all schools should ultimately
become Academies
 
What does this mean for the school ?
 
Our land and property would no longer belong
to the Local Authority but instead to the MAT
Our staff pay, terms and conditions would
remain the same
Our work with the local and wider community
will remain the same
Our work with local schools will be even stronger
and more beneficial
 
It does not mean…..
 
Changing our name or uniform
Sponsorship from another company or
academy
Changing our admissions policy
Sweeping changes to the curriculum
Compulsory pairing with weaker schools
Changing SEN support
 
 
The school will continue to look, feel and be the
way it is now.
 
Next steps
 
Consultation process ; parents, pupils, local
community, Local Authority, Unions etc
The schools are currently working with a law firm
and the local authority to ensure all the legal
duties are in place
Towards the end of May Governors will consider
all information from the consultation process
and ultimately make a final decision to convert
The aim is to convert to academy status by 1
st
September 2016
