Statutory Consultation for GCPS to Convert to Academy Status

As per Section 10 of the Education Act 2010, we are running a statutory consultation process from 2 November 2026 to 4 December 2026 to seek feedback on our proposal to convert to academy status and join Strive4 Academy Trust, creating opportunities for families, staff and the wider community to find out more information, share their views and ask questions.

Please see below for a letter about the proposal sent out to parents and other stakeholders, which also includes details of meetings to be held to consult on the proposal.

Please see below for a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document that explains a little bit more about the conversion.
