Lancashire: more questions over claims for academy conversion

From the Lancashire Telegraph:

'St Luke and St Philips CofE in Blackburn has been approved to become an academy with the conversion expected by April.

'The school has already been included in a new Government report by Michael Gove’s department that says the academisation process is improving standards nationally.'


Deputy director of education at the diocese (Blackburn Church of England Diocese) Fred Kershaw said: “They were not performing very well but have improved significantly. The governors willingly sought out academy status as the best way forward.”
