PM marks academy achievement
15 March 2006
Tony Blair hosted a special reception in Number 10 this week to thank those involved with the City Academy programme.
The PM met with Principals from some of the schools, together with many of the sponsors who have helped support them, and praised them all for their work so far.
Academies have brought a new approach to school leadership by drawing on the skills of sponsors and other supporters.
They give Principals the chance to raise standards in areas of disadvantage.
