Heartsease Academy Part 3

The sponsor of Heartsease Academy is Graham Dacre, who owned car dealership Lind before selling it recently for £108 million. He used to be involved with Proclaimers, Drayton Hall and is now a member of the new Norwich Family Life Church.

Here are some interesting pieces including this article from the TES, this with some interesting debate below from Network Norwich and then this blog from a teacher who has already researched and commented loads on the Heatsease proposals. And of course, we have the slick website we'd expect to inform us of the progress made in becoming an academy. We also have The Anti-Academies Alliance.

I find it interesting to learn that Mr Dacre is to buy in with £2m and the Bishop of Norwich £50k. It would appear that the government would then invest between £20-25m.

For the moment, I guess that is all...
