The academies programme - consultation

When and how will I be consulted?

The Council wants to ensure that parents and all stakeholders are consulted and have the opportunity to provide their views. The sponsors are keen to meet as many parents as possible and have already held discussion evenings.

The Council is currently consulting parents of students at the directly affected schools and of children at local feeder schools about the sponsors’ initial proposals. Parents have been asked to return completed forms to the schools by the end of term or to Tracy Luck (details below) by Monday 28 July.

The formal consultation stage takes place during feasibility, which for us will be during the autumn and spring terms. No final decisions are taken until this has been completed. We will let you know details as soon as they are confirmed and will keep this site updated with information as well as communicating on paper.

The headteachers and governors of the directly affected schools and feeder primary schools have been asked to comment on the draft Expression of Interest documents which set out more information about the proposals. Their comments will contribute to revised versions to be considered at Council meetings in September.
