LAAT

We are currently in a consultation period over our school becoming an Academy as part of the Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust (LAAT).

After reviewing the options available to our school and with the academy agenda now a reality for all schools, Governors believe that they have chosen the best course of action. The reasons for us choosing to take this action at this time are:

• All schools will have to become academies. We feel that it is important that we choose the best path for us, rather than waiting and having to accept where we are placed.
• To be part of a larger group of academies with shared vision and values, putting children first, whilst retaining the unique qualities, which are so important to the school community.
• Our school will keep its identity - the name, uniform and way we plan our curriculum will remain unchanged.
• To have access to the range of services which membership of the LAAT brings.
• To provide staff with greater access to training and development opportunities which will help us to keep strong staff for longer.    

Governors have arranged a drop in meeting on Tuesday 6 June 2017 starting at 6pm and ending at 7.30pm. Representatives of LAAT will also be there should you have any specific questions for them. 

We are very keen to hear the views of all stakeholders and friends of Coningsby St.Michael’s CofE Primary School, regarding this important decision. If you have any written comments you would like the governors to consider, please leave these at the school office.

The Governors of Coningsby St.Michael’s CofE Primary School are determined to lead the school to even higher achievements and maintain an excellent education for our children and they firmly believe Academy status, as part of the LAAT is a major step along the way. We welcome your responses.
