 A spokeswoman at the Department for Education said: “Both Stainburn and Southfield schools applied to convert to academy status but, in the light of the recent Ofsted inadequate judgements, we believe the best way forward is for Cumbria County Council to seek closure of both schools and run a competitive process to set up a single academy under the leadership of a strong sponsor.”

Opposed by MP Sir Tony Cunningham and Cllr Mark Fryer.
