The Guardian reports seeing documents showing DFE plans for new school regulators called chancellors to be appointed by Michael Gove.
"According to internal Department for Education (DfE) documents seen by the Guardian, the plan will see England split into eight geographical regions separate from local councils, with the free schools and academies in each region supervised by a new body to known as a Headteacher Board (HTB) and headed by a chancellor"

It said: "The new system echoes the model used for schools governance in the US, although the appointments are made locally."
