 ITV highlighted this point: 'Lord Nash also warned the organisation to reconsider its co-sponsorship of two more academies - The Winsford E-ACT Academy and Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy. "I understand you are already in discussions with officials to step back from sponsorship at Winsford and plan to do this shortly," he wrote. "I would urge you to do the same with Bolingbroke Academy, so that you are able to focus on the schools where you are lead sponsor."'
