Croydon primary weighs federation vs academy

From the Croydon Advertiser:

Heavers Farm Primary School (head Susan Papas) is 'considering two options which include becoming Selsdon’s official sponsor... Another possibility is to join together but remain under local authority control, like the successful Gipsy Hill Federation in Lambeth and Southwark.



The paper said: 'Heavers Farm has asked the Department for Education (DfE) for advice about becoming an academy and sponsoring Selsdon.

A governor from the Gipsy Hill Federation, a collection of five primaries in Lambeth, Southwark and Wandsworth, has also agreed to talk them through how schools can work together more formally without becoming academies. (Craig Tunstall knighted in New Year’s Honours.)
