250th  School Views  Academies Webinar

Brethertons Solicitors are pleased to announce that their webinar “Academies – to be or not to be?” a guide for schools considering changing to Academy status, has now been viewed by its 250th school.

The webinar, which features lawyers and accountants, provides some initial guidance for schools seeking to understand the legal, accounting and tax processes they will need to consider and prepare for in the event they decide to take advantage of Academy status.

Brian Auld, Partner at Brethertons LLP explains, “We are delighted that our webinar has had such an impact, and has helped so many schools along the path to becoming Academies. We  have completed our first Academy transition  and we are working on many others which aim to convert to Academies before the end of this  academic year in order to take advantage of the DfE’s recent announcement guarantying 90% funding to schools that become Academies before 1st September 2011”
