To: The Governors and Head of Saint Margaret's CP School
Do not academise Saint Margaret's CP School without consultation
Do not academise Saint Margaret's CP School without proper consultation with parents and local stakeholders.
Why is this important?
The governors and head have been meeting in secret with REAch2 over the past months and have decided to take this community school out of council control and into the private sector without so much as asking the parents for their views. This is not lawful and not in the best interests of the children. Let's tell them that we demand to be heard. Let them make their case to us. Let's not let them dictate that our children's education should be privatised.
We would like answers to the following questions:
1) Why was the decision to seek academy status made in secret and without consultation?
2) When was this decision made, by whom, and with what outside influence?
3) What advice has the school received from Local Authority with regards to consultation?
4) At what point in the process where REAch2 selected as the trust?
5) What other trusts have made representations to our school?
6) Why was the decision to select REAch2 made in secret and without consultation?
7) What influence have they had on school policy and communications over the last several months?
8) What communications have the school received from the DfE and the LA on this subject?
