“I was delighted to learn this morning from the Secretary of State for Education, Kit Malthouse, that both Whittington Primary School and Holly GrovePrimary School in Chase Terrace will become independent academies on 1^st November” says Michael Fabricant.  “It will give the headteacher and governors more freedom and control over how the schools are run and the children taught.  This is increased flexibility is great news for Chase Terrace and Whittington.”

This is the letter sent today to Michael.  A similar letter was received regarding Whittington Primary.
