  3. The White Paper says…. “Our central principle has been, and will remain, that each school is responsible for its own improvement.” “In creating a more autonomous school system, we will reduce duties, requirements and guidance on all schools, and make sure that every school can, over time, enjoy the freedoms that Academies currently have. We will dismantle the apparatus of central control and bureaucratic compliance. We will instead make direct accountability more meaningful.”

  4. “ With remarkable speed we are being committed to radical, long-term policies for which no one voted…..the comprehensive reworking of the Education Act 1944 that is now going forward might well be regarded as a proper matter for open probing…” Archbishop of Canterbury June 2011

  8. Where next? “When the time comes, as it surely must sooner rather than later, for some sort of ‘new settlement’ which balances educational responsibilities and accountabilities as between national and local democracy, the school and the individual parent, equity and choice …I commend (this publication) to you in the spirit of hoping that all concerned will think for themselves and act for others.” Tim Brighouse LGIU 2010
