Academies and Free Schools

Opportunities to Start Afresh and Create the Right Schools for Today's World

Academies and Free Schools all offer something rare: a chance to reassess and re-evaluate. It's an opportunity to look closely at what went before and create a new school that delivers the very best outcomes for children, families and communities

But like all opportunities, it can be made the most of, or missed.

Uniquely, among education organisations, EdisonLearning are specialists in what might be termed the school's 'operating system' - the way in which staff, time and resources are brought together to create the optimal educational experience. Based on extensive research into learning and the work of the very best schools from across the globe, and from our experience in developing some of the country's finest academies over the past four years, we offer an unparalleled understanding of how a school might be designed and operated so that all learners can become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

In practice, this means that we can support sponsors and parent groups at every step of the way - from the development of initial plans, through the application process, through to the day-to-day operation of the school they wanted and needed.
