Becoming an Academy allows a school to become the architect of its own destiny, providing a sense of responsibility for its actions and its pupils that drives it to achieve. An Academy can make decisions to benefit its own students and local community. Informed choices can be made about operations, syllabus and finances, putting decision-making and money as close as possible to the learner.
Our team have worked in partnership with predecessor schools to convert to Academies and achieve transformational change within the Academies programme throughout Yorkshire since 2007. This provides us with a breadth and depth of experience which we ensure is applied across all projects we work on.
Our skills and expertise comes from having worked on a number of different Academy models including:
- Federated Academies
- Primary Academies
- Multi Sponsor Academies
- Faith Academies
- Accelerated Academies
- All Age Academies
- UTC Academies
- Studio Schools
We are able to provide support in the conversion process in all of the following areas:
- setting up an Academy
- setting up an Academy Trust
- governance support
- funding agreement
- vision statement
- curriculum development
- staff transfer (TUPE)

- assessment of assets and risks and liabilities
- facilities management review
