Welcome to the Bates Weston Academies Advice Centre.

On these pages you will find guidance on the conversion process, frequently asked questions and an eligibility guide. In addition we have also provided links to membership groups and specialist professional firms who will be able to provide further advice on legal, insurance and banking issues. Links are also provided to the Department for Education, LEA's and Ofsted.

If you are considering academy status for your school and would like to discuss any concerns you may have as a headteacher, teacher or governor, we would be happy to come to your school to talk informally (and without obligation) about any financial aspects of becoming an academy.

Please call Wayne Thomas, our education sector specialist, on 01332 365855 or use the contact form to make an enquiry.
