Available for over a year
Initio Learning Trust CEo Liz West announced her retirement amidst reports of a restructuring. Parents of children at Queen Elizabeth School in Wimborne and Corfe Hills in Broadstone have voiced their concern at the prospect of cuts to staff and curriculum. Local MP Vikki Slade added her voice to the concern, citing the £750,000 that Queen Elizabeth pays the trust annually for central services, such as executive emoluments. Jindy Atwal is a local councillor and parent of a child at Queen Elizabeth school. She told Radio Solent's Steve Harris why she and other parents are organising their complaints against the trust.
