The future of Skerton High School looks like it might be on a better footing, after news broke that it may become an academy.

Information is still a little scant, but according to a posting on the Hands off SkertonFacebook page, an officer from the Department of Education is to visit to the school and make an assessment.

From there they
will then make a recommendation as to what happens to the school and it does looks as though the school will convert to
an academy.

“This is something that we will fight for,” says a campaigner fighting to keep the school open. 

“There is still work to be done and a load of
official stuff to work through. But , we’ve made huge progress in
the last 24 hours and everyone should now be really optimistic for the
future of the school.”
