Academies do not get any more money than other schools!

Excerpt from the Department for Schools and Families website on Academies.

Do Academies receive more funding than maintained schools?
Ministers are very clear that there must be parity of funding with schools in the maintained sector that operate in similar circumstances. Otherwise, those schools could justifiably argue that they are being treated inequitably. We want to ensure that funding will allow Academy innovations to be replicated in other schools.

We say - ‘so we still get the same money if we stay as Unity College!’
