The Polaris Multi-Academy Trust, a growing family of five schools across West Yorkshire, has secured £1.4M of funding, following their successful condition Improvement Fund (CIF) bids to the Department of Education.
The trust has committed £400,000 of its own capital reserves to the condition improvement projects, meaning the value of the work being invested into improving school buildings is £1.88m. Mr Evans, CEO of Polaris Multi-Academy Trust, commented that: “We have been very successful with CIF bids over the years - totalling millions of pounds for our schools.
The funding from the Department of Education and the investment from trust capital reserves will support the trust and our schools in reducing costs of repairs or replacements in the coming years, allowing us to spend more of our funding directly on the pupils.” Lucy Harper, Head of School at Salterlee Primary School, which is part of the Polaris Multi-Academy Trust, said: “Since joining the Polaris Multi-Academy Trust in 2023, the Trust has secured over £500,000 in funding for our school.

UK drivers charged up to £26 a day for police car storageDrivers across the UK are being charged as much as £26 a day to get their car stored by police after it has been seized. West Yorkshire was the third worst area in England for police car seizures behind only the West Midlands and Greater Manchester. Across the UK, Dundee in Scotland fared worst of all, with 23,344 cars seized by police compared to 20,124 for West Yorkshire, according to figures issued by the RAC. West Yorkshire moved up a place to second in the dubious table for police seizures which led to a car being destroyed, with 4,138 - which means over 1 in 5 cars seized in West Yorkshire are later destroyed by police. The RAC says it can cost drivers £26 a day in fees and fines while their cars are being held by police, and as much as £192 in total.
