For Academies

Recent Government legislation offers the leadership teams and governing bodies of many state-maintained schools the opportunity to take greater control over the financial and strategic direction of their school by becoming an Academy.

While the attractions of Academy Status are apparent there are many issues that need to be addressed before a decision is made to convert and after conversion.

Nicklin has the expertise and experience to advise you on all aspects of conversion. As members of the UK200 Group we have access to other specialists - both lawyers and accountants - throughout the country with extensive experience of academies.

We offer all the services you will need and have provided below further guides and links which may be of interest to you:-
