Section 10 Consultation process
As part of the process of opening a new school, we were legally required to hold a consultation exercise (under section 10 of the Academies Act 2010) to determine whether the Trust should enter into a Funding Agreement with the Department for Education.
This consultation allowed parents/carers and pupils, staff and governors from local schools, other Local Authorities, Councillors, local residents and any other interested parties to learn more about the school, SAND Academies Trust and share their views.
