More is emerging about current discussions among Brent schools about academy conversion. There are four options under consideration as far as I can ascertain:
1. Conversion to an academy
2. Forming a federation of Cooperative Trust schools with academy conversion
3. Forming a Cooperative Trust without academy conversion.
4. Remaining as they are
Wembley High and Preston Manor are considering the second option along with some Wembley primary schools. Copland Community School is interested in a discussion around the third option with no decision or statement of intent planned.. Queen's Park Community School does not want to consider the cooperative trust option and governors issued a statement in May 2011 stating that they had 'no immediate plans to apply for academy status.' This leaves Alperton High School and I would welcome any information readers may have about their position: mafran@globalnet.co.uk
Meanwhile a joint union meeting at Preston Manor All-through Foundation School (apparently the school's new name) is said to have overwhelmingly passed a motion rejecting academy conversion.
