Rumours abound in the Church of England

It is alleged that the appointment of Vanessa Ray as principal designate is sending shockwaves through the Church of England throughout the UK. It is alleged that even Bishops are asking about the suitability of Mrs Ray as the Principal of a Church of England Academy, is she or has she been a regular practising christian? Did the people who appointed her do their homework?

Academies do not get any more money than other schools!

Excerpt from the Department for Schools and Families website on Academies.

Do Academies receive more funding than maintained schools?
Ministers are very clear that there must be parity of funding with schools in the maintained sector that operate in similar circumstances. Otherwise, those schools could justifiably argue that they are being treated inequitably. We want to ensure that funding will allow Academy innovations to be replicated in other schools.

We say - ‘so we still get the same money if we stay as Unity College!’
