Academies, free schools and open competitions

Suffolk County Council has a responsibility to ensure that all children in Suffolk have access to a good school that can make the best of their talents.

We:

• Support parental choice both to help children find the school that best suits their needs as well as to develop the local school system as a whole.
• Will work to a presumption of support for the creation of academies and free schools, actively managing their introduction into the existing system of schools.
