As EAZs come to the end of their statutory life, they will transform into Excellence in Cities Action Zones (EiCAZs) or Excellence Clusters. All EAZs will have transformed by May 2005. As zones transform, their details will be taken off of the Standards website and further information about EiCAZs and Excellence Clusters will be available on the Excellence in Cities (EiC) part of the School Improvement and Excellence site at: www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/sie/eic
