Greater Autonomy because you can make better use of budgets
As an academy you are not tied to Local Authority services and processes. Which means as an academy you can use other companies in order to get the best value for money. You can end unprofitable contracts and are free to choose third party suppliers that may have been unavailable before.
Giving extra support because academy status removes you from Local Authority control.
As an Academy you will have more responsibility, particularly for teaching, budgets and staffing. This is your area of expertise, however estates and property is ours. Especially Access Control, Fire and Security elements associated with the OFSTED inspections.
