Conversion to Academy Status - Consultation

(closing date for responses - 17th February 2017)

LATEST - SEE SECTION BELOW FOR UPDATE LETTER FROM GOVERNING BODY, 14.02.17

A letter to all parents and carers was sent out today (5th January 2017) explaining the Governors' proposal to convert Leominster Primary School to Academy status.  The purpose of this letter is to let you know that we are considering converting to an academy and joining the Mercian Educational Trust and to get your thoughts on the matter. The school governors are unanimously in favour of pursuing an application to convert and we have informed the Department for Education (DfE) accordingly. We have also informed the local authority of our plans.

Letters also went out to other stakeholders in the community and we welcome their views.
