Academy Conversion

Academy Conversion refers to the process where a local school changes its status to become an academy, which is an independently-run state school in England. This allows the school to have more control over its curriculum, finances, and operations, rather than being directly managed by the local authority. The conversion often aims to improve school performance, increase flexibility, and provide tailored education practices. Typically, the school continues to serve its local community but operates under different governance structures, often with an academy trust responsible for its management.
