Hackney head says change status before choices are cut

From the Hackney Citizen: http://hackneycitizen.co.uk/2014/01/31/northwold-primary-school-academy-application/

The Hackney Citizen reported: 'Headteacher Alison Kriel said: “We know that there is a general election coming up and all political parties have said they are going to keep the academies programme in place (but) ... fewer and fewer opportunities for schools to decide for themselves what kind of academy they want to be”, adding: “That’s why we decided we want to be proactive and decide for ourselves.”



'Ms Kriel said that if Northwold Primary is successful in its academy bid this could open the door to the school forming a “non-hierarchical” federation with others nearby.'
