Everything we feared about academisation has come true. Our children are suffering in this bullying culture. The staff can't be happy either. @HandsOffMPS @warwickmansell @how_state @antiacademies @LoseTheBooths @KateGreenSU @HooSBrighton @HandsoffP @cyclingkev @MaryBoustedNEU

"Schools are accountable to many stakeholders beyond parents," so no need for them to be answerable to communities. What a load of nonsense: academies only legally answerable to DfE and unelected trust itself. That's the problem of remoteness.

When your Multi Academy Trust (MAT) decides to increase the amount of money they take from your school, the Government gives you these options: ❌No choice (you can’t leave)* ❌No voice (you’ve got no vote)** ❌No regulation to rely on. thread 1/3

This isn't the only anti-acedemisation campaign in the area. Peachaven is also facing the same. They are out in solidarity too!
