£800,00 donation for ‘super school’

A GRANT of £800,000 has been awarded to Islington’s first city academy.
The money was donated to the Church of England-sponsored St Mary Magdalene academy, in Liverpool Road, Holloway, by the Sir John Cass Foundation for teaching mat­erials, sports equipment and school trips.
But the cash boost is controversial as the foundation is a backer of City University, which is sponsoring the borough’s second ­academy on the site of Islington Green School.
City University has had to rely on a £1m donation from a secret donor it refuses to name.
