Next Steps

The consultation will run from 29th January until 12th March 2025. If, following the consideration of the responses to the consultation, the governors decide to proceed with the academy process they will set out an anticipated timetable. In summary, however, it typically takes around six months for all the various processes or be undertaken before a school can become an academy.
