Academy
Status
Following the announcement by
the Secretary of State for Education on November 17th that schools
that were judged ‘good with outstanding
features’ were eligible to apply to convert to academy status the
Full Governing Body took the decision at its meeting on November
24th to register an interest with the Department for Education.
It is important to make clear that this does not mean that the
school is committed to becoming an academy. The Governors once
we have a named contact at the Department for Education will undertake
full consultation with staff, representative groups, students,
parents and other interested parties so all the options can be
explored.We have created this section, which has background
papers about converting to an Academy. Documents open as PDF documents
in a new window.
