Free school trust quits its school over surplus places

From the Express and Star: 'The Wolverhampton Sangat Education Trust (which runs Anand Primary School) is to fold after its board agreed to allow the Birmingham-based Nishkam School Trust to take control of the school.


The paper also reported that Kulbinder Kaur Pouni,headteacher of the Black Country’s first free school, has quit her post - and the school’s controlling body has disbanded less than a year into its existence.

Anand Primary School opened in Wolverhampton in September last year, is run with Sikh principals, aims to have 420 pupils on its books by 2019 but only 20 children started classes last September - 40 fewer than the initial target of 60 starts.
