<p>All primary and secondary schools can apply to become academies &#8211; as long as they team up with an outstanding school, Education Secretary Michael Gove is expected to confirm.</p>
<p>The Education Secretary insisted the plans would help drive up improvement in every school in England.</p>
<p>It means a satisfactory school can apply, providing it joins up with an outstanding school.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Mr Gove wrote to every primary, secondary and special school in the country inviting them to apply for academy status.</p>
<p>Schools rated outstanding by Ofsted were pre-approved and their applications were fast-tracked.</p>
<p>According to new figures, 224 applications have been received since July.</p>
<p>About 200 schools, including those in federations, have been given an Academy Order, and 80 have opened so far.</p>
<p>A further 64 academies have replaced schools that were failing.</p>
<p>Mr Gove will say: &#8220;We know that the best way of improving schools is by getting the professionals who have already done a brilliant job to spread their wings.</p>
<p>&#8220;That is why we are now allowing more schools to benefit by allowing all schools to apply for academy status, if they are teamed with a high-performing school.&#8221;</p>
