The school is currently looking into forming a multi academy trust and have sent in their initial application to the Regional School Commissioners or RSC.
It will be up to this group to decide whether the school meet the criteria required to become an academy.
The school should find out in the near future if they have been successful in this first stage.
Broke Hall will then proceed with a consultation to gather views on the proposed change.
