Academy policy concessions expected after debate

The latest reports after today's PMQs show possible concessions may be made on the forced academisation plans, due to widespread dissatisfaction from Tory MPs, teacher, unions, Local Government and parents. We are a month away from the announcements regarding legislation for the coming year and as reported by the BBC today, 'Sources said the government was likely to guarantee no small rural schools would close as a result of the shakeup (...) ministers are having lots of conversations with Conservative MPs to tackle their concerns (...) Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has said critics of the proposal have raised "important issues".'
