We have a wealth of experience of advising schools on all aspects of Academy conversion and post-conversion legal matters and the establishment of Studio Schools. Recent matters we have advised on include: Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School and Sixth Form College; Parbold Douglas Church of England Academy; ESSA Academy, Bolton; and The Manchester College Education Trust

Including Bolton College, The Manchester Collage, Moulton Collage and The Royal Northern Collage of Music.

In this edition we look at the changing rules for Academy schools and provide guidance on converting to an Academy and we focus on a recent employment case that may mean teachers and lecturers should be allowed to take legal representation into disciplinary
hearings.

In this edition we focus on the Government’s Equity and Excellence White Paper and the issues that may arise for GPs.
