# The Academisation of Schools Process: What You Need to Know

    Chris Callaghan  ·   1 minute read

**Unwrapping the Academisation of Schools Process**

Gail Brown, CEO and Executive Headteacher, Ebor Academy Trust and Jenn Plews, CEO, Northern Star Academies Trust joined us for the Schools & Academies Show Extra, to have a discussion on the academisation process and explore the key things they think you'll need to know if you are considering this journey.

*The discussion focuses on the following points:*

- The academisation of schools timeline, how long to expect the process to take and relevant checkpoints along the way
- Who is involved in the decision to become an academy?
- Joining an established MAT versus creating your own Trust. How to do both and which is better for your school?
- What processes and responsibilities in your school will you have to change?
- What are your local authorities’ internal processes which could affect the process?
- Available support after opening as an academy
