https://get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/<\/a>.<\/p>The department encourages Governing Bodies to consider this information before applying to become an academy.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, where a school is applying for an academy order to become an academy and join a trust, the Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC) will consider the financial health of the school and the MAT the school is joining as part of a robust assessment of the ability of the MAT to run the school. The Governing Body of a maintained school can decide not to proceed with conversion before an academy funding agreement is entered into.<\/p>
<\/p>
There are different arrangements when a school is directed to become an academy. In this situation, the RSC, with advice from their Headteacher Board, identifies an approved sponsor to run the school. The finances of the school, MAT and the MATs ability to run and improve the school are key elements that inform the decision. The sponsor is however under a duty to communicate their plans to improve the school to parents.<\/p>

We will be investing £84 million over the next five years to support a number of local authorities who are struggling with issues of performance and demand. This targeted fund will support up to 20 local authorities to improve their social work practice and decision-making, enabling them to work more effectively with the most vulnerable children and their families. This investment will build on the lessons learned from promising innovation programmes in Hertfordshire, Leeds and North Yorkshire, which have supported more children to stay safely at home. We will work closely with local authorities and other sector partners between now and April to determine how best to allocate the funding.<\/p>

The programme of sales of pre-2012 income-contingent student loans is intended to raise £15bn in total by 2022/23, reducing Public Sector Net Debt. Each sale is subject to market conditions and a value for money test, which takes into account foregone repayments and assesses whether the government is better off holding or selling the assets when taking account of the time value of money, the effect of inflation, the riskiness of the asset and the opportunity cost of having money tied up in that asset. The government does not publish a year-by-year estimate of the sales programme, as the timing and size of sales remain flexible in order to maximise value for money. The National Audit Office reviewed the first sale and concluded that the government achieved value for money.<\/p>"}
