Academies have their critics. But these new independent state schools are now delivering significantly improved results and are on average three times over subscribed.
Featuring a foreword from Schools Minister Andrew Adonis, this collection brings together the leaders of some of the most successful academies to explain how they have made these previously failing schools so popular with parents.
Other contributors detail the history of the academies programme and set out how, with sufficient political support, it could change the face of state education in the years to come.
