An open meeting is to be held next week to discuss the possibility of Fakenham High School and College becoming an academy.

The meeting is part of a public consultation on the proposals being carried out by governors.

The school leadership team and its governors have been carefully considering the issue over the past 18 months.

They are working in partnership with the recently-established Transforming Education in Norfolk (TEN Group) federation – a partnership between City College Norwich, City Academy Norwich, Wayland Academy and Norfolk University Technical College.

The meeting will be at the college conference hall on Highfield Road on Tuesday from 7pm.
