Chorley's Albany Academy plans to reserve places for pupils from a primary school in Bolton
Preston Ofsted ratings: Our Lady's Catholic High School in Fulwood drops from Outstanding to Good in its latest Ofsted report
“It’s just wrong - it’s not about the kids, it’s about the business model. That was always the concern that most people had with regards to academisation - that they’d take on a life of their own and a different raison d’etre, not the one that should be at the core of their activities.
However, the school’s headteacher told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that he did not believe that the proposed change would be “to the exclusion of any local children” - in particular those with siblings at the school who live in the area and who would have a lower priority ranking if the plans are approved.
Mr. Mayland stressed that Albany Academy was - and would remain - “very much a school at the heart of the community”.“We do want to support places in Chorley and we’ve worked very closely with Lancashire County Council over the last six years to try and support the growth in pupil numbers at the primary phase.
