[Closed] The Academies announcement...

It's ok, if your academy goes tits up Nicky Morgan will be able to run it!

crazy, expensive ideology driven nonsense.

the overspend on financial help to "academise" is in the billions (at least the lawyers are benefiting. 🙄 ). LA's who've been working hard with OFSTED to raise standards are being pushed aside in months for no real gain to pupils. This will affect mostly primaries, and along with rising pupil numbers, changing curriculum, shortage of teachers, just adds one more thing to a list of "things that get in the way of making a difference to kids"

I note the plans to change to the make-up of Governing Bodies to exclude parents has gone largely un-discussed.
