Does Anyone Know...

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.

Consultation My Left Foot

Having now read this document available on the Academy Company website it is clear in my mind that this consultation is simply a PR exercise for a single site Academy.

Have a read for yourself and see what conclusion you come to.

PS
MC2 and Mouchel are nowhere near as good as concocting a biased consultation document as Cumbria County Council and CN Group Research are!

Corporate Laziness.

At long last the Academy website has got round to acknowledging it now has two head girls and two head boys. It has only taken six days for the company's PR company MC2 to achieve this feat.

Even this site managed to get the news online the same day it was released to the Evening Mail!

MC2 Have Given Up!

As of 3-00 pm today, the time I checked, the empty Open Evening Gallery page has vanished.
Check here

Lets be clear here, putting a page of picture thumbnails up online and linking them to bigger pictures that open in a mew window IS NOT HARD. Neither is it time consuming but it seems that this PR company MC2 Limited find it to be beyond their capabilities.

Why are they still being employed by Furness Academy Limited?
Why aren't the current Year 10 IT pupils and their teachers running the company's web site?
Why does this page not have the profiles of the Head Students that appeared in the Evening Mail a couple of nights back?

Anyone have the answers?

MC2 Have Fixed...

The picture problem.
They've removed them!

Seriously sack this company as soon as possible and hand the maintenance of the website over to the Academy kids and their IT teachers. Then we might actually get to see what it's really like to be on the inside and get that holy of holies regular news bulletins about things that are going well.

See For yourselves

I feel confident that Furness Academy Limited or MC2 Limited will update their web site today with something new. So I've got this page up early in anticipation of the information flood.

UPDATE 4-35 PM 3rd September 2009
And still there is NOTHING NEW on the Furness Academy Limited web site. How long this state of affairs will continue is anyone's guess.

I cannot help compare this year with last year when my son moved from his primary school to Parkview. That move went very smoothly and was very well organised.
This year's '6 to 7 movers' parents must be tearing their hair out at the stony silence surrounding this new Academy.

Education Brief!

And boy do they mean BRIEF it's only 39 pages long!
Here's the link as this site has more visitors than theirs so it's becoming a public service site!

So here is my brief about their brief and I will add in the full text once I've downloaded it and read through it.



What Do We Really Know?

I've taken a break for uncovering what Kier construction stand to gain from the Cumbrian Academies programme and why Moira Swann has structured it the way she has to write down the list of known facts about this scheme.

I will have missed some but it's a start. If you dear reader would be so kind as to enlighten me via the comments I will add them in as they come in to build up a clear picture of what we don't know and what we should know.
