This event is for principals designate and other trust staff of free schools opening in 2021. The session is designed to make delegates aware of the key steps in the site handover process, the trust’s main responsibilities throughout this period and once occupying the building, and to outline the key risks during this time.

Join NSN for our next virtual Spotlight visit to London Academy of Excellence on Thursday 24th June at 16:30-17:30.

Spotlight visits are events for senior leaders of open and pre-open free school groups. For this virtual event, the host school will give a presentation sharing their best practice and discussing their free school journey.

London Academy of Excellence is the academic sixth form for independent thinkers. LAE is committed to its sixth formers developing the knowledge, skills and interests that will give them broad and rich life choices in a complex and changing future.

The focus of this Spotlight visit will be on how this 16-19 academy manages transitions from secondary.

If you have any questions about this Spotlight, please contact events@newschoolsnetwork.org.

We are always on the lookout for fantastic free schools to share their journey with other free school leaders. Have you been open for more than three years and are interested in sharing your best practice? We would love to hear from you!
