Northumberland County Council is pursuing an academy chain for the repayment of £230,000 after it pulled out of running a school in Hexham. According to Local Government Lawyer, the county has confirmed that the authority’s legal services department is writing to the Department for Education about the issue.
According to a report in Schools Week, Bright Tribe was paid to convert Haydon Bridge High School in Northumberland but abandoned it last November blaming the school’s deficit and low pupil numbers.
