holding answer 17 July 2012

As of 1 September, 46 funding agreements have been signed for schools converting to academy status in Birmingham. Of these, 31 are converters and 15 are sponsored. A further 46 are in the pipeline for conversion to academy status (18 converters and 28 sponsored). Funding agreements for each of these pipeline schools will be signed once the school has completed the relevant stages of the conversion process. I am unable to give an expected opening date for conversion, as the pace is driven by the individual schools concerned.

A full list of schools working towards achieving converter academy status is available on the DFE website at:
