The sponsors behind the proposed Academy for Barrow have launched an interim website to help provide information about plans and progress to date.

The site, www.anacademyforbarrow.co.uk, gives information on the Academy and details of the three sponsors - Furness College, Barrow Sixth Form College and the University of Cumbria. It also features a question and answer section.

Although it is only an interim website, while the main site is being developed, it will regularly be updated with news and milestones for the Academy.

The sponsors have urged people to visit the site to find out more about the proposals.
