"Peter Dwyer, corporate director for Children and Young People’s Services wrote a five page letter to headteacher Sue Whelan earlier this month... (commenting on whether the decision was based on information regarding financial, staffing and curricular implications)... Mr Dwyer said in Eskdale’s case he was compelled to write saying “the consultation document which we have had sight of does not address matters of detail regarding these critical matters.”
"He accuses Eskdale governors of ‘misleading’ parents about gaining academy status and changing the leaving age from 14 to 16 at the same time."
