• Is your school considering converting to an academy?
• Have you limited/no experience on what is involved in Academy conversion?
• How much or little do you know about the process?
In conjunction with NASBM, Stone King is launching a series of smart talks for School Business Managers. Our first smart talk is all about Academy Conversions and is designed to give you a basic understanding of everything that is required to help you, if your school is considering converting to an Academy. The smart talks will take the form of interactive webinars and will be held over a week during lunchtime. Each webinar will last 30 minutes and will have a dedicated Stone King specialist talking you through each of the topics.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions and these will be collated and a question session will be delivered on the last day of the webinar. By the end of the webinars you will have all the tools you need to help you talk more confidently about the basics of Academy Conversions. In advance of each webinars you will be sent a workbook to follow the basic knowledge.

• Employment & HR
