The governors are shocked, surprised and concerned by recent headlines relating to Cheshire East Council being subject to police investigation, in particular in relation to funding allocated to our school. At present we have no information as to why The Berkeley Academy is being linked to any investigation and we have yet to be contacted by Cheshire East or the Police over this matter. We will of course co-operate fully with any investigation and will release further updates on the matter as and when appropriate to do so. Ken Mitchell, Chair of Governors.
