Private Eye

Setting up a new trust when a trust has already been in existence for
374 years sounds like a real beginner's blunder. The rest needs to be
examined as far as possible. One of our local grammar schools has
recently formed a trust to hold the assets that were previously held
by the LEA. Parents at the school were excluded from standing as
trustees and given a load of spin about why the change was happening.
There is more to these trusts than meets the eye: They are a
necessary part of converting to an academy. The assets of St.B's are
already held in trust by the Diocese of Northampton, as I understand
the position.
I think I need to FOI the governors' minutes at Calday Grange.

Wirral's Calday Grange grammar school in bid to dissolve trust status
after head suspended
May 17 2010
The school had also failed “to post the full list of governors with
their affiliations on its website, despite our repeated requests for
them to do so” or release minutes of governors’ meetings “which should
legally be available to us”.
Note the date. Looks as if FOIing the minutes would be a battle.

Setting up a second trust to hold the same assets may be a beginner's
blunder but to do it without the knowledge of the governing body seems
incredible. So who set it up, why and with what intent?
