Struggling Alvaston school 'to have new head by September'

Derby City Council has said it will name a new head teacher at a struggling Alvaston school by September as part of efforts to improve teaching standards, a local news report has said.

According to This is Derbyshire, Merrill College was identified in 2008 as one of the 638 schools in the country where less than 30 per cent of students were scoring five or more A* to C grades, including maths and English.

Derby City Council education director Mick Seller told the publication that "this means a largely new senior leadership, new head teacher and new governing body".

The local authority is planning to create a National Challenge Trust school out of Merrill, which is going to lead to the school closing and reopening in September with a new governing body.

In other news, education staff looking to gain headship are poised to face more difficult exams, the BBC has reported.
