PLANS to build a boarding school for inner city school children on the former St Cuthman’s site at Stedham have received a setback after the National Audit Office expressed concerns about the government’s backing of the controversial scheme.
The concerns have emerged in a letter seen by the Observer written from the auditor general Amyas Morse to the permanent secretary at the department for Education Chris Wormald.
He said he believed ministers had agreed £17m for England’s first free state boarding school, without looking at its long-term viability and the department for education approved funds without fully analysing risks.
