Considering a transition to academy status? We can help

The recent announcements by the government have raised the prospect that many state schools will seek academy status under a new revised regime. For many school governing bodies and school head teachers this is an attractive opportunity but many are uncertain what this means financially for the school. We are fully aware of the issues facing you in considering this option and we can assist you in preparing for the conversion process and the challenges operating your school independent of local authority support and control.
