As the title says:
The Governing Board of my DC's primary school is considering becoming an academy. We are going through the pretence of a consultation period at the moment.
My thoughts are that the Foundation school status gives the school a lot of autonomy already so I am confused as to what an academy would bring or take away.
There is also a secondary academy school that we would be teamed with. That school has unsuccessfully tried to be the sponsor of another primary converting to academy status. I'm wondering what their motivation is.
At the moment we have a weak head, lacking in vision and a governing board that gives the impression (rightly or wrongly) of rubber stamping his latest initiatives.
Would the governors have the final word, irrespective of parental opinions?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
