Surrey Initiative
Majority of secondary schools have
chosen to become academies
Failing primary schools are being
made to academise with a secondary
school
Aim is for secondary school to
improve standards
However, secondary schools may not
have a good understanding of primary
teaching
Surrey Initiative
Surrey
is looking for outstanding
schools to become academies so
that they can more effectively help
failing schools
An Academy is a state-funded, community
school serving local residents.
Academies are accessible to all families, and
remain part of the family of local schools.
They provide free education for students of
all abilities.
Academies are funded at the same level as other
schools, but a multi Academy Trust would save
money through economies of scale and this frees
up money which can be spent where it is most
needed - in the classroom.
Academies also have greater flexibility than
maintained schools in the curriculum they
provide.
They are inspected by Ofsted in the same way as
maintained schools.
Recommendation
by our
governors to become a ‘Stand
Alone Academy’

Working between both schools
I will be at BIS every week
Planning to build a garden office
Banstead Infant School has been my
home for 9 years
I am ready for more but I am NOT
leaving
Total confidence in BIS team
The more we all learn the better the education will be
for the children at BIS because our teaching methods
will continually evolve
We will learn more about assessment and marking
Subject leaders will work together to enrich and
develop their subjects across the curriculum
We will have a better knowledge of the KS2
curriculum
We will be able to better prepare our children better
for junior school because we will have perspective
from both sides
We would be able to use the knowledge of
KS2 staff to support gifted children in our
school
More experienced leaders in the school
leads to greater capacity for the
development of the school
Working with other children gives our
children greater opportunities
They
do not need our leadership
support
The
two schools will continue
to work together as we have
always done
Banstead Infant School
children will still have priority
at Banstead Junior School
Other schools may join the academy:
A strong school with the same ethos
OR
A school which needs help to
improve
They then become a permanent part
of the family.
We will let them join if we have the
capacity i.e. both BIS and WMJS must
be flourishing
Oaks Academy Trust

schools
for each other, ourselves and
the environment

challenges
We hope you will want to join us and
support us in this exciting step.
