Evaluation of applications
Only high quality applications will be approved. We know from the United States that the best Charter schools in the States have a rigorous approval process.
Groups will be judged against each other, and scored on the strength of their applications. Shortlisted applicants will be called for an interview to discuss aspects of their application.
Being called for interview does not indicate that an application will ultimately be successful.
