A NEW company is responsible for improving schools in Waltham Forest.
Babcock International has agreed a deal to takeover VT Group, whose education subsiduary has been providing support services in the borough since 2008.
Babcock's core business is providing engineering services in sectors including defence, transport and telecoms.
A council spokesman said the Babcock takeover does not change the current contract with VT Education & Skills, which will continue to provide school improvement services.
