Academies Update

Minutes:

Robin Crofts provided a verbal update:

 

Parlaunt Park has applied for academy status which has been agreed by government and is sponsored by Langley Academy and is likely to take effect on 1st July 2014.

 

Nicky Willis reported the Business Manager for Cippenham Schools Trust had attended the recent Academies Show where there were discussions about the impact of Multi Academy Trusts and the possibility that this could lead to more than one member of a Trust on the Schools Forum. 

 

Forum membership was discussed and Robin Crofts agreed to look at Portsmouth set up where this may have had an impact already.
