As of 1 July 2012 there are 1957 academies open in England. The government hopes that eventually, all remaining primary and secondary schools will also choose to convert to academy status and take advantage of the freedoms it offers, reshaping the UK education landscape as a result.
However, converting and successfully running a school outside of local authority control requires extensive preparation and major change. If you are a headteacher, governor, finance director or bursar, a local authority education leader or anyone else with a serious interest in the Academies Programme and regardless of whether you have already converted, looking to convert or simply fact finding for the future, The Academies Show Birmingham will provide you with a wealth of relevant, valuable and FREE insights, discussions and practical advice.
In response to constant pressures to raise standards, improve the quality of learning and reduce costs, ICT is driving genuine transformation in the delivery and accessibility of education. A combination of effective ICT integration, cloud computing and e-Learning expertise make Civica a trusted partner for Schools, Free Schools, Academies and Colleges.
