Employment freedoms limited to those at a sponsor's existing academies

From the Guardian: Responding to news of short holidays and not recognising unions at Nottingham University academy of science and technology (Nuast) the university told the Guardian: '(it) was not aware of this condition regarding union recognition. As sponsors we will be discussing with the Nuast board to ensure that the terms and conditions align with the other schools that we are sponsoring, such as the Nottingham University Samworth academy, where unions are recognised.'



The paper reported Ailsa Gough, Nuast's principal, saying: 'We operate differently from a school. Our approach is based on a business, rather than a school, model.'
