Lincoln primary converts despite 'decreased funding incentives'

Sleaford Standard: http://www.sleafordstandard.co.uk/news/education/education-news/village-school-switches-to-be-an-academy-1-5763794

Headteacher Katie Bartle said that although funding incentives had decreased, the benefits of greater autonomy and being in control of their own destiny and finances outweighed staying in local authority control. They could get best value for money for securing services with longer-term improvements to what can be offered at the school.

Sleaford Standard: "The change came into effect on December 1 and means that they will be joining the William Alvey, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Ruskington Chestnut Street and Rauceby primary schools as academies that serve the Sleaford area."
