Academy Conversion – Parents’ Open Forum
In October 2011, you will recall that after a meeting of the Full Governing Body it was agreed that we would apply for Academy Status with effect from 1 September 2012.
As part of this process, it was confirmed that we would hold a series of consultation Open Forums for our students, their parents and our staff.
An initial meeting has already been held with our staff with a further Open Forum meeting to be held later this month. We are therefore now pleased to confirm that the Parental Open Forum Meeting will be held as follows:
- Date: Thursday 5 January 2012
- Venue: Main Hall
- Time: 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
We hope that as many of you as possible are able to attend this meeting which will, in the usual Nunthorpe format, be held in a ‘Question and Answer’ style.
We hope to see a good attendance at the meeting, where we will be able to outline the benefits of Academy Status for students, parents and staff.
Yours sincerely,
Debbie Clinton
Headteacher

Just returned from the open forum a bit surprised by the attendance but found the meeting very informative and think the right decision in the best interests of the school and more importantly the studens has been made .

Greater financial and curricular autonomy for schools is incredibly important and beneficial to Nunthorpe School.
