The Professional Teacher
Support for teaching professionals in the classroom and beyondEvery UK school to become an academy
15th March 2016
In this week's Budget, George Osborne is expected to announce that all schools in England will become academies - free of local authority control - by 2022. In practice, this means allowing schools to set their own payscale (and associated performance related pay) and freeing schools from following the National Curriculum. This will affect 40% of England's secondary schools, and around 85% of England's primary schools.
