Tudor Grange push for two tier rather than three tier could cost millions

From the BBC: 'A consultation put forward by the Tudor Grange Academy Redditch could see the three-tier system of first, middle and high schools, change to two tiers of primary and secondary schools... (campaigners said)... it would cost millions of pounds for Redditch to change to a two-tier system," she said... Our three-tier system is really successful at the moment'.



The school is one of four in the Tudor Grange Academy Trust. Jenny Bexon-Smith - Executive Head of Tudor Grange Academy Trust - has been appointed Regional Schools Commissioner for East Midlands and Humber.

More from the Redditch Standard: 'Ridgeway Middle School has now launched a consultation on taking pupils up to the age of 16 instead of 13 as currently, while Webheath Academy First School and Astwood Bank Academy First School are examining the prospect of expanding into larger primary schools.'
