Peter Vardy
From RationalWiki
Sir Peter Vardy inherited his father's cash (made from a second hand car business). He has gone into the English education business in a big way with the establishment of several "academies". These institutions are mainly government-funded but the "sponsor" puts up a small amount and is then entitled to a majority on the board of governors.
The schools abide by the National Curriculum, but allow creationism to be included; [1][2]
