Battle over academy status and DFE sponsor choice

From this is Lancashire/Lancashire Telegraph:
http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/news/10850888.Darwen_school_faces_forced_academy_status/


"Darwen Vale High is the first secondary school in East Lancashire to be told it has to make the move.
The decision by the Government comes after it received the worst possible rating from inspectors in August....
Angry governers, who have also vowed to continue to fight the decision, last night refused a suggestion from the Department for Education that it become the latest Aldridge Foundation sponsored school. The Lancashire Telegraph understands the governors favour Blackburn Diocese as the school sponsor."

Headteacher: Fiona Jack

UPDATE: Another Darwen academy story - Burnley Academy to join forces with Darwen Aldridge Community Academy: http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/news/10860568.Darwen_academy_in_link_to_new_free_school/
