The number of academy schools in the UK has expanded rapidly over the last ten years at both the primary and secondary level. Currently over one-third of all state-maintained schools are academies. The Government is keen for higher education institutions (HEIs) to take an active role in supporting secondary education as part of its broader strategy of ‘levelling up’.
More broadly, with the development of the role of the civic university, you may want to explore the way you work with, and support, schools in your local area and community by looking into higher education sponsorship. Whether you already offer existing HEI sponsorship, are considering offering university sponsorship or would like a broader understanding of the academy/school sector and the role of higher education trusts within it, our expert team can support you.
As one of the leading law firms advising schools, academy trusts and academy sponsors, we have extensive experience on collaborative partnerships and HEI sponsorship arrangements with both standalone institutions and those part of a multi-academy trust.
We are one of the leading law firms advising schools, academy trusts and academy sponsors of the best course of action for university sponsorship. For more information about how we can help, please contact Nick MacKenzie.
At Browne Jacobson LLP, the team’s specialist knowledge of academy conversions, multi-academy trusts and PFI schools is 'invaluable and unique’.
