TOWN Hall education chiefs have got the green light to hand over a 'failing' school in London's deprived East End to a university trust.
The ruling Labour cabinet at Tower Hamlets voted in favour of plans to put in hand an 'educational partner' in charge of St Paul's Way Community School in Bow Common.
The school would receive �750,000 from the Government and be run by a board of trustees appointing most of the governors.

"This is failing school which we have to deal with," he told the East London Advertiser.
