A new Academy in Holbeach has been approved by the Secretary of State. It will replace the George Farmer Technology College and Crowland St Guthlac School.
Councillor Mrs Patricia Bradwell, Executive Councillor for Children’s Services, said: ”This is excellent news for children and young people in the area. It will provide them with improved education facilities, top quality resources and modern buildings. I am delighted this partnership between the schools, Lincoln University, local industry and the county council has successfully convinced ministers of the value of producing world class education in the area”.
Chris Penney, Chair of Governors of the Federation, commented: “The opportunity for the University and local businesses to develop a new Academy is great news and we look forward with enthusiasm to taking this work forward.”
Andrew Atherton, Pro Vice Chancellor at the University of Lincoln, added: “The University is excited and energised by the opportunity to work with the excellent staff and governors of the schools to develop a ground breaking Academy in South Lincolnshire. We have a long-term commitment to education in this part of the county, focused on our Holbeach campus, which already works closely with schools and employers."
