No official news but we understand that the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools & Families) replied to the governors before Easter.  Apparently, their letter stated as fact that the Academy would go ahead within the next few years and spelt out a clear timeline.  The letter was so matter of fact about the timeline for the Academy that the governors felt obliged to write back to seek clarification; they clearly believed  that the road to Academy status could not be as straightforward as the DCSF was suggesting.

Please, anyone who knows anything more, please get in touch.
