'Unprecedented' finances may stand in way of Leicester converter

From the Leicester Mercury: http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Rushey-Mead-school-academy/story-20563941-detail/story.html

Councillor Vi Dempster said: (I)'can only think that the governors (of Rushey Mead School, Leicester) believe that the Department for Education (DofE) will underwrite all costs after conversion (governors voted to convert this week).



'These would include the council contribution to the ongoing costs of the BSF contract, including school maintenance, which costs about £500,000 a year.

'There is no precedent for the DofE to make such a long-term financial commitment so we await the letter from it with interest.”

Principal: Carolyn Robson
