I refer the Honourable Lady to my previous answer

The intention by Government to force all schools to become Academies would be a good one if the Academies were in small clusters supported by an outstanding school.  But by encouraging even bigger Academy Trusts all that is happening is the transfer of schools from Local Authorities to a privatised authority, with all the risks that entails.  The money that small clusters could use to improve their schools will be used up, out-of-area, by monolithic education corporation's infrastructure, high director salaries and contingency hoarding.
