An historic move is set to be made at one school in the county after governors voted unanimously to turn it into a trust school.At a meeting held last night, the governors of the Hewett School in Hall Road voted in favour of changing the category of the school from that of community to Foundation Trust.
The announcement was welcomed by Antony Little, Conservative group leader at City Hall, who said that funding from the foundation status charitable trust would help improve the pupils’ education whilst increasing local accountability between parents and the school.
Cllr Little said: “I fully support this decision to turn the Hewett School into a Foundation Trust school. There will be huge benefits for pupils and parents alike and it is a move in the right direction. I hope that this is the beginning of a success story for the Hewett School and that more schools in Norfolk follow suit.”
