A Bradford-based academy trust has unveiled plans for an “elite” all-girls STEM sixth form college.
But, the proposals have gathered a mixed response from local education chiefs.
Feversham Education Trust is consulting on its early proposals with a view to submit a bid to wave 15 of the Department of Education’s free school application process.
Government ambitions for new “elite” sixth forms emerged earlier this year as part of its levelling up white paper, targeted at the 55 education investment areas (of which Bradford is one) where it aims to bolster opportunities for disadvantaged pupils.
