SALE-based law firm, Slater Heelis LLP, has advised Chorlton High School on its recent conversion to a multi-academy trust and formal sponsorship of Newall Green High School.
Following the conversion, the two schools will be separate academies within the same trust.
Previously, Chorlton High School held Single Academy Trust status and Newall Green High School was a Foundation School.
Becoming a multi-academy trust enables academies to formally sponsor other schools, giving them the opportunity to share staff, resources and educational experience.
As part of the transaction, Chorlton High School formally agreed to sponsor Newall Green High School, with a view to helping raise standards.
