BISHOP Fleming, the specialist academy schools accountants, has signed its 150th academy school client.

The company with an office in College Yard, Worcester has joined forces with the city's Regency High School, a stand-alone academy for about 155 pupils, with a special focus on students with learning difficulties and other special needs.

Head teacher at Regency High Frank Steel, said: "The Governors studied a number of accountants when making their decision. They chose Bishop Fleming as they had a proven track record and were able to meet our needs with the advantage of being local. We have been pleased with the service that we have received to date."

Joe Scaife who heads Bishop Fleming's Academy team, said: "We have continued to grow our academy team and I am very confident that we now provide academies and multi-academy trusts with the very best service that they can obtain anywhere in the UK. Schools that join us are joining a real family of clients who benefit from round the year service including regular seminars, networking events, tailored information from blogs, as well as a first class compliance service."
