School defects to all-through academy away from two-tier council

From the Bury Free Press: Howard Middle has resigned from the Bury Schools Partnership and will instead receive support from the break-away Bury St Edmunds Academy Trust.



According to the paper Sue George, chairman of governors at Howard Middle said the school aims to join the all-through Academy Trust after a primary was given permission to become a 4-9 academy within the Trust.

Mrs George said: 'We felt it wasn’t right for us to stay with them (the Bury Schools Partnership) because we don’t agree with their main aim which seems to be the two-tier system... the Academy Trust has assured us they will support us.'
