Have you ever worked in an academy? It’s reasonably likely that you may have done if you are teaching in 2019.
The Department for Education detailed the extent of academisation across England in a report last February: 6,996 maintained schools had converted as of January 2018. It means that an estimated 47 per cent of pupils were being taught in academies. In total, 72 per cent of secondary schools were academies as of January 2018.
Interesting statistics, particularly for someone who had not taught in an academy until now. Yes, it’s true – I hadn’t worked in an academy at all before I went full throttle and became the head of one in April 2018.
