According to the Department for Education, becoming an academy gives a school:
* freedom from local authority control
* ability to set their own pay and conditions for staff
* freedom from following the National Curriculum
* ability to change the lengths of terms and school days.
Here are the schools which have expressed an interest:
Secondaries
