Due to Popular Demand Capita Announce Details of Their 2nd Academies Conference

Capita's 2nd National Academies Conference is designed to inform delegates on the latest Government strategy on its Academy programme and the proposal for educational reform.

Manchester, United Kingdom, October 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “This Government believes that teachers and head teachers, not politicians and bureaucrats, should control schools and have more power over how they are run.”
Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education, 1st September 2010

The Coalition Government is encouraging all schools to apply for academy status. This is a chance for education professionals to benefit from greater freedom, flexibility and autonomy, to raise standards and narrow the attainment gap by becoming an academy.

Capita’s 2nd National Academies Conference is designed to inform delegates about the latest Government strategy on its academy programme and the proposal for educational reform.

Over a thousand schools applied to become academies, with more than thirty outstanding schools across England reopening this September having successfully converted their status. This is a significant time of change for schools and local authorities, it is therefore essential to get guidance and best practice on the following issues:

• Leveraging the benefits of academy status
• Funding arrangements and financial implications
• Negotiating applications and managing legal challenges
• Hearing lessons learnt from established academies

This timely event provides practical guidance for all schools; including those wishing to take their application for academy status forward, newly established academies and those needing to improve standards and attainment.

Local authorities should also attend to consider the implications and changes that academy status will mean for local schools and working relationships.
