Leicester primary weighs council vs sponsor

From Leicester Mercury: http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Mowmacre-primary-considers-coverting-academy/story-20420020-detail/story.html

'The school (Mowmacre Primary) has come under pressure from the Department of Education to convert...

'Leicester City Council's policy so far has been to resist academy conversion...

'Education officers at Leicester City Council said they were giving the school relevant support to help lift it out of special measures, including drawing up an action plan.


'Sarah O'Mara, acting head at the school... 'No final decisions have been made.''


A vote was taken in November to consider academy status with The Discovery Schools Trust as the preferred sponsor.
