Dear Parents and Carers,

Re: Academy Conversion Approval

I am pleased to inform you that our application to convert to an Academy Alternative Provision (AP) and join Synergy Education Trust has been approved by the Department for Education. This marks an exciting new chapter for Educational Diversity, allowing us to build on our successes and continue providing high-quality education and support for our students.

As we move forward, we will enter the next stage of the process, which includes a formal consultation. This is an opportunity for all stakeholders, including parents and carers, to ask questions and share their views. We will provide further details on the consultation process, including key dates and how you can participate, in the coming weeks.

We remain committed to keeping you fully informed throughout this transition. If you have any immediate questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via enquiries@eddiversity.blackpool.sch.uk

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to working together to make this transition a success for our school community.

Yours sincerely,

Vic O’Farrell

Headteacher
