From Leicester Mercury: http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Mowmacre-primary-considers-coverting-academy/story-20420020-detail/story.html
'The school (Mowmacre Primary) has come under pressure from the Department of Education to convert...
'Leicester City Council's policy so far has been to resist academy conversion...
'Education officers at Leicester City Council said they were giving the school relevant support to help lift it out of special measures, including drawing up an action plan.
'Sarah O'Mara, acting head at the school... 'No final decisions have been made.''
A vote was taken in November to consider academy status with The Discovery Schools Trust as the preferred sponsor.

Al-Madinah visits a Greenwood Dale school
Nottingham Post: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Academy-help-struggling-school/story-20360854-detail/story.html
The Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust is looking to help out at Al-Madinah Free School. A visit was arranged for people from Al-Madinah Free School to visit Nottingham Academy, in Sneinton, one of many run by the trust.
The trust's chief executive, Barry Day, has produced action and leadership plans that have been accepted by Ofsted. And he says he is willing to allow some of his senior staff to work with the school in the next few months to bring about change. Mr Day was invited by the Government to become involved with the school three weeks ago.

Consultants hired and action outlined to avert free school closure
From the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25323625
"A free school that was threatened with closure by the government has revealed it is bringing in consultants to help tackle its failings. The Discovery New School in Crawley, which has already replaced its head, has also appointed new governors since being reinspected by Ofsted. The measures are outlined in an improvement plan sent to the Department of Education."

"The Broadfield school, set up in September 2011 as one of the country’s first free schools, was judged as needing ‘special measures’ in its first Ofsted inspection in May.
"Ofsted’s report of its inspection in September stated headteacher Lindsey Snowdon had agreed to step down from her role ‘as soon as a new headteacher can be appointed’.
"The report said: “It is essential that a credible professional is appointed to the headship without delay to provide the expert leadership necessary to remove the school from special measures.”
"The report added that the headteacher and business director had drafted a ‘statement of action’ and an improvement plan since the first report which were ‘not fit for purpose’.
