SCHOOL leaders from Hampshire were among those attending an information event surrounding converting to academies.

The Academy Information Workshop was hosted by Corero Business Systems, HWB Chartered Accountants, Trethowans Solicitors, Lloyds TSB Bank and Southampton’s Hinkler Academies Trust.

The event was designed to help schools looking to convert to understand more about the process and matters they will need to consider. The event took place on board the Princess Caroline and saw a series of sessions delivered to school bursars and business managers.
