Onward & Upward?

| 21 Comments | No TrackBacks
As you may have now gathered I have decided to keep this blog going for another 12 months.

I have to say I was wavering until the Academy inexplicably failed to release its GCSE results into the public domain. 
I cannot to understand why the schools principal has taken this decision. 
I cannot understand why the schools sponsors have allowed him to take this decision. 
I cannot understand why the schools governors have allowed him to take this decision. 
I cannot understand how the DCSF are not forcing this school to release its figures.
I cannot understand why no staff member has spoke out about this abject failure.

True they have replaced the three schools with one but in doing so they created a dysfunctional school that fails staff, pupil, parent and what is euphemistically called the 'wider community' on every level.
Some members of staff are working to deliver some sort of education for their charges but how much longer can they go on before they put their own well being ahead of their careers?

And now the end is near...

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