DFE: academy status would break community links

From the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard:
http://www.wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/news/10964619.Consultation_held_to_help_determine_future_of_St_Sampson_s_Infant_School_in_Cricklade/


'After being judged as inadequate, government expectation for infant schools is that they close and become academy schools... governors at the infant school were granted permission by the DFE to put forward the merger proposal after deeming that academy status would break a relationship the school has with the community.'



The paper said: 'similar proposal by governors’ of the infants school was scrapped in early 2012 after a massive backlash from parents’ and teachers from the school' but added 'this time around the consultation differs because the DFE have given an ultimatum to the infant school to either close or become an academy.'

Could this relate to Romford High Court judgement? http://newschoolfinance.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/more-detail-on-romford-high-court.html
