Starting a SABIS^® Free School

Individuals, groups, charities or Academy Trusts interested in bringing a SABIS^®-operated Free School to their area should first consider that the opening, operation, and supervision of Free Schools are governed by the Academies Act 2010.

Opening a Free School can be a very complex and daunting process, yet given the right resources and information, the process can be simplified. SABIS^® will endeavor to support this initial thinking and investigation by allocating resources to the potential free school in order to evaluate its likely potential. Anyone interested in starting a Free School can learn more about Free School law and Funding Application Guidelines by visiting the NSN (New Schools Network) website at www.newschoolsnetwork.org or the DfE (Department for Education) website at www.education.gov.uk/schools/leadership/typesofschools/freeschools. Here, it is possible to find general and comparative information about Free Schools.

For specific details about SABIS^®, its curriculum, educational philosophy and approach, its books and success record over 125 years see www.SABIS.net.

Those interested in bringing the high quality of a SABIS^® proprietary curriculum, systems, teaching methodology and books to their area should contact us at: ukfreeschool@sabis.net.

SABIS^® can fully manage public schools but also provides its curriculum, systems, methodologies and books under licensing agreement to existing or new schools. The resources on offer will all be fully matched to the curriculum offer and be planned alongside Key stage 2 SATS, GCSE, EBAC, or A-levels qualifications.
