Schools - Conversion to Academy Status
The Academies Act received Royal Assent on 27 July 2010 and the Government is actively encouraging schools to convert. If you are considering converting a school to academy status, Michelmores' dedicated Academies Team would be pleased to discuss the process with you and to provide you with a detailed work plan and fee quote.
Whether you are a school or a local authority, we will guide your organisation through the conversion process to academy status. We can advise on all issues relating to the conversion including funding arrangements, governance matters and property and staff transfer arrangements.
"I would like to thank Samantha and the team at Michelmores who successfully undertook this complex task on our behalf with a demonstration of experience, expertise and commitment to getting the job done"
Dr Nicholas Smith, Headteacher of Torquay Grammar School for Girls - the first 'Good with Outstanding Features' school in the country to convert
