Lincolnshire council favours local sponsor

From Lincolnshire Echo: http://www.lincolnshireecho.co.uk/Potential-sponsor-Tattershall-Gartree-Community/story-20458002-detail/story.html

'Gartree Community School in Tattershall was placed in special measures in January 2012... the Department of Education ordered the County Education Authority to begin the process of turning it into an independent academy.'



'...Collaborative Academies Trust came forward as a sponsor in September 2012 but decided to pull out of negotiations after eight months because Lincolnshire County Council expressed concerns about the choice as it wasn't a local organisation.

'...The David Ross Education Trust, who currently runs over 20 academies across the East of England, has expressed an interest in the school joining their network.'
