Randstad Education recently invited 50 head teachers, governors and school business managers, to a seminar with three key figures to discuss the current financial, governance and educational issues around academisation – particularly with austerity measures starting to bite.

Alyson Howard who heads up our academies team at Williams Giles specialising in advising schools on academy conversion addressed the financial, governance and educational implications of converting to academy status with over 1300 academies now established across the UK and another 700 in the pipeline, academisation is one of the hottest and most contentious topics in education. Whether the main objective is to raise standards, increase resourcing or simply take control of every aspect of running a school as an effective business, there are few schools not contemplating what it all might mean for them.

The venue for the breakfast briefing was the ocean going Clipper ship the Stad Amsterdam, moored at West India Dock. Built as a joint venture with the City of Amsterdam, its construction provided valuable work experience for unemployed youngsters under Randstad’s Finding Jobs For People programme.
