Philip Green has been named sponsor of the year by the Specialist Schools Trust. Mr Green, who has spent in excess of £1.25m sponsoring 50 specialist schools (each school applying must in theory raise £50K), is also the sponsor of the £20m Fashion Retail Academy that is to open this summer in conjunction with the London School of Fashion. Half of the costs for the academy will come from Mr Green’s company Arcadia with the other half being provided by the Learning and Skills Council.
