Kevin Gray (who was trying to win backing for a free school bid but is now backing another bid) said: “The reality is we can’t compete with New College which has so much more experience behind it.



“I recently held a meeting to put together an organising committee and made a list of things we needed to do and there was a lot of concern raised by those who attended that we lacked experience and expertise in certain areas.

“Well, New College bring that to the table. They have built a lot of extensions in recent years to their site and every one of them was built on time and on budget.”
