Head departs before turning his school around - exec principal stands in

From the Nuneaton News: William Branney, headteacher at troubled Nuneaton Academy (Ofsted: inadequate)  is stepping down... 'to return to live with his family in the north of England. The academy is part of the Midland Academy Trust which said in its 2012/13 accounts that 'the trust's budget for 2013-14 shows a planned deficit of £503,451 for that year.' (p17)

Maria Nightingale, who has worked alongside Mr Branney in the role of executive principal for the past two months, will take control of the school until a permanent head can be recruited for the school.

Marion Plant OBE, said: 'The Nuneaton Academy is making steady progress following its recent Ofsted inspection.

The Midland Academy Trust accounts show (p40) that the academy charges a flat rate for central services to cover the cost of employing the Trust's finance manager - £7,906 for three academies, and £3,133 for two studio colleges - coming to a total of £29,984. None of the academies have funding deficits.
