South Tyneside schools not considering conversion to academies

More from The Shields Gazette: http://www.shieldsgazette.com/news/education/lessons-learned-from-academy-switches-1-6360145


'There is no indication that any new schools are set to leave local authority control imminently.

'But approaches were made by the Department for Education to Toner Avenue School in Hebburn, and Park View School in South Shields, after both required special measures.

'Those moves came to nothing when both premises were taken out of special measures.

'Next week, members of the council’s people select committee will receive an update (A report from Helen Watson, the council’s corporate director for children, adults and families) on the impact of academies in the borough.'
