Warning to academies
EIGHT academy schools have been put on notice that they must boost their standards or face action, it has been revealed.
Education Secretary Michael Gove told MPs that the schools have been issued with pre-warning notices because they are severely under-performing.
It comes as MPs raised concerns that a Government quango responsible for investigating complaints against academies is failing to do so. Taking evidence from Mr Gove during at the Commons education select committee yesterday, chairman and Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart suggested there was confusion over whether it was in the remit of the Young People’s Learning Agency.
