MORE ACADEMIES, more free schools and more autonomy for all schools are among the changes announced by Oxfordshire county Council.

In a statement, OCC have stated: “Oxfordshire County Council?s Cabinet has agreed that the council should formally adopt a position to support changes proposed by national Government to improve educational standards across the UK and to work on ways of helping schools manage the change.

“The cabinet has endorsed the Government?s national drive to develop the Academy programme nationally and bring fresh focus on the ways in which underperforming schools are supported to improve; as well as encouraging good and outstanding schools to achieve academy status.

“The Government has said it wishes to see increased autonomy from local education authorities for all schools – with Academies being supplemented by a network of free schools and greater accountability for underperforming schools alongside the Academies programme.”
