Hello
I teach Maths part-time in a comprehensive 11-18 school.
Lots of stuff coming round at the moment from unions regarding the negative side of academy schools, i.e less/no PPA time, longer/weekend working hours, change in maternity entitlement.
We had a satisfcatory rating by Ofsted and as I understand it is only being offered to outstanding schools at the moment - but we have a newish head who is very ambitious and I can see him heading in this direction.
But I'm thinking that there must be pros (for staff) in becoming an academy school too - or the schools who have already made the change havn't had a massive loss of staff.
Would be interested in any info anyone has, particularly from teachers working in an academy school.
Thanks
