Apply to become an Academy

This form is for local authority maintained schools that want to become academies.

There is a separate process for:

• special schools, and
• pupil referral units (PRUs)

Although you can invite other people to help with this application, only the chair of governors will be able to submit it.

Before you start

You should:

• run a formal consultation with your stakeholders
• complete an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA)
