New trust to take on two E-Act academies in Leeds

From The Yorkshire Evening Post: 'Leeds West and (Leeds) East Academies, were among 10 schools which E-ACT has agreed to give up amid concerns about its performance... Now the schools have announced that they are set to be sponsored by a trust created by Leeds City College - (The White Rose Academies Trust )



The trust is already aiming to sponsor the City of Leeds school. According to the latest accounts filed at Companies House the trust had received £260,000 from DfE.

Lord Nash, the Government’s minister responsible for academies has signalled his support for the proposal and the deal could be formally approved by Easter.
