School Academies Start to Stop
Michael Gove’s plan to entice schools to become academies and take greater charge in their own affairs seems to be stalling. The 750 applications from schools has resulted in only 50 state schools being ready for the September start.
Schools are saying their request for an information pack has been counted as an application. Keen2learn believed schools should be allowed to take the summer break as the ideal opportunity to review options. This allows considered thought rather than rash reaction. But the Departmental of Education seemed to have jumped the gun. Once again we see Michele Gove on the back foot scrambling around personally phoning some Head Teachers to urge them to apply. Maybe they’re a bit concerned about the rebuilding programme cancellation that left some schools truly beached could emerge half way through the academy programme.
