Academy Status
The school became an academy on the 1st November. On my blog I indicated our new name would be ‘Minchinhampton Church of England Primary School’ –an academy under the Diocese of Gloucester Academy Trust. However these things are never as straightforward as you hope and, because of a legal technicality, our name needs to have academy in the actual title. We will therefore be known henceforth as, ‘Minchinhampton Church of England Academy.’
To be perfectly honest the name itself makes not a jot of difference to me, and I hope not to you either. Ultimately all that matters is what we can provide for the children.
