The coalition government's plans to turn a number of schools into academies have been welcomed by one head teacher, who said the move has given professionals greater control over education.
It is possible the scheme - which has led to the opening of 407 such academies thus far - could encourage kids to try new activities, with Mike Crawshaw, head of Debenham High School in Suffolk, stating it allows facilities to offer a "broad, balanced" curriculum.
This includes "extra academic and pastoral support for children that need it and thriving music, sport and activities outside class", he continued.
According to newly released government figures, 46 academies were launched this week alone, with a total of 204 opening since September 2010.
This comes after the School Games project provided £20 million in funding to improve the take-up of competitive pursuits in schools, an initiative that is to be extended to primary facilities this year.
