Stop the progression of academies ! Schools are not companies and they are not for sale !


Stop the progression of academies ! Schools are not companies and they are not for sale !
The Issue
Stop putting education at risk.
Proposals to make all schools academies by 2020 or be committed to converting by 2022, threatens the very nature of a fair education system.
Academies do not have to answer to their local authority.They are schools run by a private sponsor meaning that they do not have to follow the national curriculum. They do not have to adhere to teachers pay and conditions, threatening the shortage of teachers more than ever.
We must stop the growth of academies to make Britain's education system fair and accountable once more.
