Comes this story which very succinctly shows what is happening in our state schools even though the post features an American college...

This is a perfect example of what is wrong with Britain's education system, in my humble opinion.

The amount of information out there is staggering. Hot on the heels from finding out about the impending retirement of Mr David Kelly Principal of Barrow Sixth Form College and the Walney Oftsed report I came across this...

Their Oftsed report was published today and available here


The school didn't enter special measures but it does need to make significant improvements according to the Inspector. The parents and carers are happy with the school as a whole but much like another school I could mention communication is an issue that needs resolving sooner rather than later.

What I think has actually happened is this and if anyone knows any different then please feel free to enlighten me.

Thanks to commenter Eric I took a tootle over to TES jobs and lo and behold I found...

why the Furness Academy Limited website run by MC2 Limited is still down and has been for some considerable time?

Here's a reminder of how MC2 see themselves and how Mrs Attwood, co-sponsor of the Academy and Director of  Furness Academy Limited the company which engaged and pays MC2 Limited, loves the "work" they produce.

Came across a fascinating fact today... well it was fascinating to me.
It came from a written reply from our old friend Vernon of the Coaker family.

Turns out that the minimum amount of money a child attracts from the taxpayer pot is...
(of course there are all manner of allowances that can pump this figure up)

I've just had a wander through the Evening Mails Academy split/single site pages and I see they are up to their old tricks of having the same Academy comment section appear under every pro Academy article.

This proves beyond any doubt the paper and its editor are in cahoots with the Academy Company and its sponsor directors. It is even adopting Academy purple as its colour of choice to use throughout its dead tree publication. Purple it seems is the colour. They even managed to get it onto a huge photograph of John Woodcock pretending be a BAE worker!

Will Mr Lee make a public statement about his papers support for the Academy Company no matter how bad things get?

PS
The Academy Company's site is still down.

No idea if the Academy Company or MC2 limited are aware but the Furness Academy limited website has been down for at least four hours. Link
