Answer: In the first instance, only governing bodies of schools that have been rated outstanding by Ofsted in their most recent judgement can apply to become Academies. No Island school submitted an application to convert to an Academy by 30 June 2010 which was needed if they were to have opened as an Academy in September. So far three Island maintained schools have expressed an interest in converting to an academy, only one of which has been rated outstanding by Ofsted. Conversion to academy status will not affect the schools reorganisation on the Island to any great extent.
