Primary staff support status change in secret ballot (Hackney)

A school (Northwold Primary School) has made the controversial decision to apply to become the first primary academy in the borough.



Alison Kriel, who became the school’s headteacher in 2009, said academy status would allow the school to “make independent decisions”.

She said: “We have chosen to become an academy because we want to make decisions for our own school.

“We carried out a secret ballot and the staff voted in favour of the process. The government said they would not consider our proposals unless it had the backing of staff.
