'Trevor Nichol, chairman of governors, said: "We've worked closely with the local authority for a number of years, but we believe we can move forward much quicker with the Discovery trust.
'"...The trust has strong support mechanisms in place and one of our issues has been recruiting the right calibre of staff. As the trust is attached to a training school, that support will be readily available."'

Mowmacre Hill Primary, in Tedworth Green, Leicester, was placed in special measures by Ofsted in December, after inspectors said the rate of improvement was too slow.
Governors launched a consultation last month to ask parents their views on becoming an academy, with the help of sponsor Discovery Schools Trust.
Leicester City Council's policy so far has been to resist academy conversion in favour of its partnership approach, which it said worked better.
