Academy status

Sorry for the break but we've been on Holiday

Time moves on and while Sandwell Labour continue to moan about the old Labour BSF programme, Sandwell Schools vote with their feet and continue to convert to new Academies leaving the LEA.

Our full congratulations go to   
Wood Green High School College of Sport, Maths and Computing which is  converting to academy status next month

Now our congratulations go to  

The Heathfield Foundation Technology College in Cradley Heath has applied for academy status and are having their applications processed by the Department for Education.

Sandwell Tory said
“Any school can apply for academy status and receive the new freedoms and extra money that comes with it and performance in academies is improving at almost twice the rate of other schools.
 This is a great example of how we can provide better services even as we deal with the massive debts Labour left behind and better still we hear more Sandwell schools are following”
