Academies 'popular with parents'
Published: 01 September, 2007
Academies, the controversial "independent state schools", are proving popular with parents, says an ongoing progress report. Each year, PriceWaterhouseCoopers management consultancy evaluates academies for the government. The latest said the 42 academies, many replacing failing schools, had had to turn away more than 15,000 families who were seeking places. But the report warned that behaviour was "still a challenge" for academies. The academy project will create 400 of these independent state schools - which are non-fee charging and non-selective, but which have outside partners, high levels of investment and greater autonomy.
