Local chain gives slight relief to forced academy

From This is Lancashire:
http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/news/10946700.Contrversial_Elton_Primary_School_academy_plan_approved/

'Elton Primary School (headteacher: Tony Emmott)...'

'Governors at the school... “reluctantly” signed the papers last Thursday in front of Gena Merrett, a Department for Education adviser, which confirm that the school will become an academy.'



'...It has also emerged that Bury College (principal: Charlie Deane), which is the lead sponsor for Radcliffe Primary, which became an academy on January 1, could also become the lead sponsor for Elton Primary.'

'Charlie Deane, principal at Bury College, attended the meeting and spoke to governors.'

Labour-run Bury Council and the school’s headteacher and some parents have both come out in opposition, but Bury North MP David Nuttall has backed the plan.
